This was my very first table. We could not find one in stock so I found these plans from Ana White. The base was easy enough if you take your time and make sure you are oriented right before cutting.......not that I made any mistakes by not double checking before plunging that saw into my work piece. The top was modified to be 6 feet long. I edge jointed, using an electric hand planner, the 2x6s after planning the faces flat. This helped my hand planner to ride flush and make a pretty straight edge after a few passes taking off very little each time. This actually took longer than building the base. I pocket holed the underside to squeeze the top together with some glue. It turned out almost perfectly seamless. I mixed some fine sanding dust with some poly for any cracks or blemishes. That allowed the stain to actually take, unlike with wood filler.
