Thanks for the comments. Now lets see some more work:)

O.K. Didn't want to but in on your table, but since you asked - Here is a pix of the couch table I made several years ago. Finish is 100% water base urethane. Made a duplicate for my Daughter-in-law last year. The second one has a different finish as she doesn't like shiny. That one is 100% Watco Golden oak. (no photo of that).

Only mechanical fasteners in these tables are the brads on the bottom rear of the drawers. Like yours, every joint is mortise and tenon. (really some are tongue and groove) Al joints interlock with others. It seems somewhat bothersome, as there is no room for wood movement. However no cracks yet.

The little rose (oak) and the letter opener (walnut) (poor showing) in the center of the table are some of my carvings.

The Butler tray table is also of oak. Now we are waiting to get a butler.;)

Scottss,

I would go with the 520 first as well. You will get much more use out of it than the OPR. I also agree with Ed on the planer. Run yours until it dies and buy the OPR instead of a new planer. I have a DeWalt 13" and use the fast speed only.
