OKay started out making the base today. cut a majority of the pieces. lots of sanding to do as my jigsaw likes to cut on an angle

Still looks pretty good so far. The Melamite cut very well with only little chipping which can be hidden by a coat of white paint applied to the edges aswell as being covered with the edging. Should be good once its finished.
I predrilled all the holes so everything will match up perfectly, or within a few feet. I will cut the base board and the other bit tomorrow as I have to goto work now
