the stacked design let me use smaller pieces of sheet goods…
the open area to the left is for miter knife, Leigh’s D4 and their FMT… Everything work surface wise is coplaner…
the right side has a flip up table extension…

the top glue ups, butcher block style, make for more stable panels and require only pieces… and you get to use up more of your small piece stash…
spline the joints for strength and surface alignment… if you haven’t a thickness planer this will go a long ways w/ initial panel flatness that should only need hand plane touch up…
