So you want to build a farm table?

Hi, My name is Lee and I am a hobbyist woodworker. This is my first post and I hope you'll be kind. I have noticed on Pinterest that quite a few people are looking to build a farm table for their homes and one of prevailing methods is to use lumber from your local home center. I'd like to share my experience in building one. As I said I am a hobbyist. Basically, my wife Linda says "Honey? I think I'd like a ........" and then I go build it. Many times it requires a fair amount of research on the techniques and then the practical application. What I like to build, when I'm not on the home projects is electric guitars. But they are a discussion for another day. I'd like to break this down into the basic operations that go into making a table and maybe I can even impart some creative details that can inspire you to make something other than four straight legs with a top. I'll try keep the lessons short and try to publish a new one...
