What types of table leg are there?
How do you make your own table legs?

Extending a leg, on the other hand, can be more difficult depending on the material. For example, you can extend a metal leg by welding or a wooden one by gluing or by screwing. However, especially with extended legs, care must be taken to see how this can change the load-bearing capacity of the leg.
What should be considered when attaching a table leg?
The legs should be attached evenly to all corners of the table so that it can be more stable. In the end, use a spirit level to check that the table is straight.
