   You can use a router box with a wedge to cut mortices on legs at an angle. The wedge holds the leg at a repeatable angle. The wedge can also be used to cut the shoulders of the tenons.

   I made this a couple years ago and his method worked for me (uses drill press and a chisel guide) —

   Seems like a good techinque is to angle the aprons and thus tenons on the TS.

   Here's an article on building a side table with a 4deg splay.

   Thanks for that article. I like that “simple” look, and things that look simple but really aren’t.

   Thanks for all the help ! I think I will use the box and wedges.

   3 degrees is not much, it represents less than 1/8 taper over two inches. You could cut the mortice square and enlarge the top of the mortice by 1/8 with a chisel tapering to nothing at the bottom and taper the lower side of the tenon by the same amount.
