I guess there are a million ways to build a table. I built a torsion top that measures about 60"x72". I used two quality sheets of 3/4 ply and 2 sheets of MDF from a local shop here in San Diego. For my needs, it's the perfect out-feed table, table for cutting down sheet goods, and assembly table. Importantly, it's flat and solid. Other highlights include: multiple coats of poly to seal top, dog holes (used Festool 20mm boring bit, LR32 plate and track), and adjustable feet. I also constructed one end to eventually hold a router lift and fence.
