Looking for some hardware, table/stool legs
#4
So last year I made a couple of small step stools for my niece and nephew. I used a table leg top plate like this:

These were definitely overkill, and demanded a bit more inboard offset than I wanted, but it worked. Later, when I visited the fam, I noticed my other nephew's stool (store bought) had similar hardware, but on a much smaller scale, still plenty stiff, but it allowed for mounting closer to the edge of the stool. I'd like to find those brackets, since it would make for a much more stable stool! Anyone have any ideas?
I've googled table leg top plate, angled top plate, stool leg top plate... Any other ideas? Thanks all!

Some people are like a Slinky. Not really good for anything but still bring a smile to your face when you push them down a flight of stairs.

Thanks Allen. Most of the ones I've seen doing a google search are the larger size. I can't figure out a good search term to find the smaller ones... The 4 pack from Lee Valley seems like a nice low-cost option to at least try and see if I can get them closer to the corner. I'll keep lookin!!
