Built one this past week using the planes from the meroke.com web site. You need to be alert to just what you need, the plans do not tell you the quanity of the pieces, they just give you the size. I also found I needed one extra 2X4 piece then what the plan called for. It might have been because I didn't cut the pieces right, but I didn't have alot left over when I was done. Getting the front legs to line up is a little hard also. I don't have alot of power tools, Norm Abrams I'm not, did mine with a skill saw and cordless drill. Not a bad effort but a miter saw or table saw would have been nice, I think I have talked my wife into letting me get one. I took mine to our field this past weekend and it was a total hit. The total cost (less labor, thats free) was around $45.00 from the local lumber store. Good luck.
