Here are some images of the process of making the table.
I decided to go with angled legs, mostly because of the estetic looks.
I have to say its been a lot more tricky then i expected, because i didnt had marging gauges and other measuring tools needed for easier job. And when you work with live edge nothing is straight so you have to improvise sometimes.

First i straightened the the endgrain so i can have eaiser job measuring the angle.

Because i dont have angle metter or should i say i visited 3 shops for tools and non of them had angle metter, i had to use a standard angle meter. So the angle is unknown but its the same on bot legs.

This is my third time to do a mortise and tenon. And it was scary to work with this size, especialy with the saws i have in disposal xd.

Marking the tenons

Cutting the tenons with a 2$ saw. This was the most stresefull process.
For the tenons to be 90 degrees to the top i used the 90 degree meter. U can see the 2 vertical pencil lines.

Ofcourse it wasnt everything perfect, so i had to make little adjustments with a chisel. I wish i had a shoulder plane.

For the mortise i used a hand drill. I try to avoid using chisels as much as posible because of the echo it creates the whole house is shaking.

The hardest part was done, and i could continue with little pressure.
