I had zero carpentry experience before I started. Lesson one- buy the best table saw you can afford. The table saw is the most important tool.

Lesson Two - buy a high torque battery screwdriver, such as the Milwaukee brand. High torque because you are driving three inch deck screws into lots of wood.

I am going to cover the top with one layer of 6 mm greenhouse transparent plastic so taht the water and leaves run off, rather than pooling and sticking in the windows. That won't affect the look at all, but will keep the top cleaner and in better condition.

I am not in that photo!
