Step 1
Pick up the table and take it to a place where you have room to work, such as out in a garage. Set the table, with the top down, on the floor.
Step 2
Find and remove the screws, if any, used to secure the legs to the table with the screwdriver.
Step 3
Measure the height of each of the table legs with the tape measure. Make a note of the measurement of the shortest table leg.
Step 4
Measure the other table legs to the measurement you noted in Step 3. Make a mark on the each table leg with the pencil.
Step 5
Place a carpenter's square on the pencil marks and draw a straight line. This will be where the table legs need to be cut or trimmed.
Step 6
Set one of the table legs on a pair of saw horses and secure it with a clamp.
Step 7
Plug the circular saw into an electrical outlet. Align the blade of the saw on the pencil line you made in Step 5. If you do not have a circular saw, use a hand saw.
Step 8
Pull the trigger on the saw and cut along the line. Repeat Steps 6 through 8 for the remaining table legs.
Step 9
Reattach the legs to the table and turn it right-side up. Place a level on the table to see if it sits level on the floor.
