If you are going to spend the money for good wood forget. The formica! Use oak or maple bouth are nice to work with. Because this is a first real build take a page from Pauls book get a sheet of underlament cut it in half. Then do a full drawing at half size. You can work out every joint. And it will make you realy think it out.
You will have four sheets so you can work out all sides. When I do this I make notes on the board as to how to cut it and what tools I need. Then when I start cutting I lay out stock and tools tobegin. I number and code each peice. As I complere each section I dry assemble it and adjust as needed…
Lightly sand the sheets to clean them then put a light coat of finish on it. A one pound coat is good. Cover the sheet with a old bed sheet when not using.
