This was my first project!!
This plan took me about three weeks start to finish working off and on (multiple hours on weekend days). I widened the table to 48 inches (the dimensions for my table are approx 84" long x 48" wide. Used 4-2x10s and 1-2x12 for the table top and 1x8s for the bread board ends.
