To anyone who likes to DIY and may be interested
Took somewhere between 15-20 man hours, only using a circular saw, router and clamps.
Cost me about $175 and that includes the power supply.
It’s about 1.5 sheets of 3/4” thick, 5’x5’ birch ply. The sides are two pieces of 3/4” sandwiched for strength. It’s covered in Formica, everything is sourced from Lowe’s except the power supply.
I didn’t use dados, so I was initially worried about it’s sturdiness and the possibility it could wrack too easy and come out of square.... but it’s rock solid. It weighs about 60lbs I’d guess. I’m 190lbs and I can put as much strain on the corners as I can and it doesn’t show a tiny bit of weakness.
