More Ways to Build: Metal Legs, Hardware, and the Files to Go With Them

Here's the thing nobody tells you when you start wanting modern furniture: half of what makes a piece look "designer" isn't the woodworking at all. It's the metal — the legs, the hardware, the little details that make a tabletop look like it belongs in a store instead of a garage.
And that's exactly where most people give up. Because "just add metal legs" usually means learning to weld, buying a welder, or finding someone who can do it for you and hoping they don't charge you more than the wood did.
So here's the actual good news: you don't need to weld anything.
Nick designed a set of metal parts that ship straight to your door, ready to bolt on. No welding, no special tools, no shop upgrade. You just build the wood part, attach the metal part, and you're done.
What Nick designed:
- Slide-in hooks (set of 4) — small detail, big difference for shelving or entry pieces
- Minimalist bent table legs (set of 4) — the exact kind of clean, modern leg that makes a tabletop look intentional instead of improvised
- CNC clamps, set of 10, for T-track systems — if you're running a CNC or router table, this is the boring-but-necessary hardware that actually holds your work down
None of this requires a welder. None of it requires a fully kitted-out shop. It requires a drill, some hardware, and a tabletop you already know how to build.
And if you need that tabletop...
This is exactly what our CNC files are for. Every template in our shop is designed to make a side table using a router, double sided tape and a template so it can be built in an afternoon. Download the template file, upload to sendcutsend.com, receive your template, and get started!

This isn't about needing more tools. It's about knowing which few things actually matter and it turns out, most of the time, that's just wood, a drill, and the right file to start from.
