I don't remember all the technical terms, but when joining the middle section and the ends you need to plan for expansion/contraction in the wood when joining.
Yeah, I've read up and watched a good bit of videos on that. You dont want your base or breadboard ends tightly secured all the way across the top of the table. Only on the two center boards.
Has do with the way it expands in regards to the way the grain runs.

My biggest questions are what are the best ways to join the table top pieces together (not the bread board part).
I've seen everything from just glue, to dowels, to dominos, to biscuits, to pocketholes.
