Yeah a Kreg jig is a must, but i used a biscuit jointer this last time, and OMG that was handy...That makes it 100 times easier to keep the table top completely flat.

I used plans from this website and just changed things around where I saw fit.
The walkthrough is pretty good but I think this guy is pretty excessive with certain things like the wood glue, number of screws, and how reinforced the table is. I didn't do as much as he did and I promise this table is built like a tank.

We used 0 wood glue, only 2.5 inch pocket holes with the kreg jig. The wife wanted it to be actually rustic looking (reason the boards aren't perfectly flat) can't stand the DIY tables that come out looking manufactured.
I still have to build the extensions for the table ends at some point.
