New Salon Table build

After several years of procrastination I pulled the trigger on a new Salon table. We have a large free standing table that is designed to lower and provide another bed. The area can easily sleep two. We have only used it twice in ten years. Having a smaller table will open up the Salon space. We have wanted a smaller table with fold over leaves. I finally decided to build it myself when I got a $9K estimate from a shop on Savannah. Teak is $29.50 a bf and a 4x8 sheet of two face teak is $335. When I am done I will have about $1300 in materials.The table will have an enclosed gas assist pedestal that lowers to 20" and raises to 28" for dining.
After hours of getting my saw adjusted to make the precise cuts the project has been going well. I will post some pics as I go.
The new table will be 26x26 folded over and 26x52 opened.
I have attached a picture of the old table, an example of the new table style and progress pictures.
