    For the top I used a table top planner to assure same thickness of boards before gluing together with biscuits. Then of course once the top was glued together I had to use a scrapper for the glue then a hand planner and finally sanding down to the finish.

    I used pocket holes and glue for the entire frame.

    Never thought of using my biscuit jointer..great idea. What glue did you use Titebond III or West Systems epoxy?

    I used Titebond III... I was going to use Gorilla glue as it is said to be waterproof, but I already had some Titebond.  The Titebond is holding up.  The table has been in use for about a year now and no warping or splitting on the top.  We do keep it in the garage though and roll it in-out as we need to use it,  so it's not exposed to the elements for long.

    Perfect! Mine will be left outdoors so we will probably use epoxy being that I keep it here for my boat projects.

    Very nice table indeed.
    The problem with a problem is that you don't know it's a problem until it's a problem, and that is a big problem.
