This first one shows the two different levels of the main surface. The top layer you see is 1/4" oak. Paul and I both really liked the patterns in the wood we picked out. Once it gets stained we think it will look great. The bottom layer is 3/4" particle board.
One of the biggest issues we've had to deal with so far is the layout of the under-table support system. It needed to fit table supporters, slider supporters, sliders, and the extensions themselves in 3 1/2". Tricky, but we got it. You're looking at this from the "bottom." The two parallel strips running along the length of the frame are there to secure the sliders. The 2x6 in the middle of the table is intentionally offset to that it can be used to mount the release motor. You'll see more of this later.
Without legs, this is the general idea of the table. Now you see it....
Now you don't.
The next step in the process is to attach legs to the frame. This will be accomplished by fitting legs we salvaged off an old table onto our own. I just finished sanding them tonight.
Enjoy,
Chris
