The most difficult part was the curved portion. I used a long piece of aluminum stock (had a straight edge) and clamped it to the board surface to guide a circular saw. It's not the round stuff I was looking for but it's probably 95% accurate for a curve. 4 cuts seems to have done a very nice job. It helped that i sketched everything up and used that to measure... otherwise I would need to remember my geometry skills :)I'm using some screws in special places so that they are both hidden and provide extra structural support. I'm going to fill most in with some wood filler once completed... most as in those that need to be covered. Some of the screws will be left alone, and covered by equipment anyway, so that the large flat surface can be removed for transportation.
Things left to do:
1. Large side support leg (probably more painful than the curved top)
2. Surface container stuff (lid holders)
3. Router edges so they are rounded and not sharp
4. Sand like crazy
5. Stain (got one of those dual action stainer with the poly in it)
6. Stain
7. Find a truck and install
