Hey, Im planning on building a second table (DI).  Woodwork isn’t really one of my strengths so I was looking for some info.  Since I see lots of people using wood to build their frames/tables I thought I’d share this link.  All kind of info about working with wood:

I found that a great tool for doing the frame of the table is a pocket screw jig.  You can buy it at any home store and you just clamp it to the edge of the wood and drill out the hole and it provides an angled hole that really does anchor the boards together.
