Start by Zooming In to the bottom of the middle leg. Each foot is made up of 4 arcs. To make these, we will be using the Arc (sp, ep, mid) command. The first arc will be between the two lines that make the leg. Use the Snap "End" selection, then connect the two lines by drawing a line from one end of the leg to the other to position the ends of the arc, then drag your mouse to set the arc to a distance of .075" at an angle of 270 degrees. You want it to look something like this:

Change the Snap to "None" and draw the right arc. Position the start of the arc line to the bottom right edge of the platform leg, then set the other end to a distance of about 0.5" and an angle of 300 degrees. Do the best you can to match the curve drawn in this drawing. It should look like this:

Keeping the Snap at "None" use the Mirror X command to mirror the last arc you drew 0.5" to the left. Then use Arc (Sp, Ep, Mid) command again to create the last arc, which connects the two mirrored arcs. The last arc midpoint should be 1onegrid dot below the ends of the mirrored arcs. Your drawing should look like this:

Lastly ,use the Copy command to copy the foot that you just drew to the ends of the other 2 legs. Now your drawing will look like this:
