While doing layout design for the table project, and watching a lot of New Yankee Workshop videos on Youtube, it was decided to scrap the butcherblock part of the table, and instead use 1x2 sticks as edge-banding on a plywood tabletop. and a 'classic' table-size design (36x48 rectangular). Also, to save money on this first large-scale experiment, the decision was made to construct this out of pine.

I went to the store and bought three 1x2s, six 2x4s, and a single-sheet of BC plywood, then headed down to Quelab to make the cuts.
