offsetting two circles by angle?

Hey everybody - I have a question that hopefully I can explain in a concise enough way to be understood!

I am designing a leg bracket for a table - it will hold a round wooden leg and the idea is for it to be 'raked and splayed' by 10deg along the X & Y axes. 

 

My question is: Is there a way to do this that I'm not aware of? I am very new to Fusion but I have used other CAD software previously. 

The circles are 60mm apart and I would like for the leg angle to be 10deg in 2 directions so that in effect it would be pointing at the corner of the table - a little something like this (see attached photo). Maybe there is a calculator so I can just input the dimensions, or there is a simple way to input this?

 

Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope someone smarter than me has wanted to do this before!

 

Best,

Rich

There are several ways to do this.

Here's the hard way:

 

 

The easy way to do it is to create a block, then use Chamfer with distance and angle input on two of the sides.
