Extrude a sketch at an angle?

I'm trying to draw legs of a 3-legged stool. The legs need to come out of the bottom of the top at a 5 degree angle. I can't see any way to tell Onshape to extrude a sketch at an angle. I don't want a draft, I'm not looking to flare out the legs, I just need to extrude them at a 5 degree angle. Is there any way to do this in Onshape?

A round or turned leg profile could be created from a single sketch on one of the native planes with the revolve feature and then circularly patterned for the other two. You can create the sockets in the seat with the same approach. Square leg profile, do what @S1mon says.0

Feel free to copy and see how it is done.

Note that you can save also use a mate connector to directly define your sketch (and skip "sketch2" and the plane shown in @dirk_van_der_vaart example):
