What saw to use when shortening wooden table legs?
I'd like to make my countertop-height table into a standard-height table. From the floor to the bottom of the top edge of the table, it is 32-5/8". Most of the standard bottom edges are abt 25-1/8" from floor to bott. edge of table. Hence, I'd like to cut 7-1/2" from the bottom of each leg (4). What is the best way to cut these? Once we have a line around each leg where we want to cut, which saw, and which technique will help us to cut level all the way across each 3" sqare leg. We want to do this right, as we'd like to continue to use the table. Any ideas suggested. Thanks!

I would use a circular saw but don't forget you are going to need to set the bevel if the legs of the table are tapered.
Oh, dear. This isn't something we've done.
Would a carpenter find this an easy task to do?
Would we be better having someone experienced doing this job? Its something you really only get one chance ... maybe we should hire someone. Is a carpenter the person we should seek?
Thank you.
