Want to cut the legs down to coffee table size to use in front of the sofa, but the legs are nailed in (with OLD nails) and glued VERY well and won't come off, except for one that was loose that I managed to partially wriggle off. Ideally, you'd unscrew all the legs and cut them down on a table saw to make sure they were all straight and even, but we can't do that. The table is not valuable, but I don't want to risk damaging it by trying to remove all the legs. Is there a way to leave the legs on and cut them down without too much room for wobbles?? What kind of tool do I need? All we have is a jigsaw; not sure if that will work. Any ideas are appreciated!! :) Bought a very old, beaten up wooden table that someone obviously had outside for a long time judging by the spider webs and dirt dobber nest – it’s round and about the right size for two people to eat at.
