Level the table top. My farm house table top has a little table too much character. Plates rock back and forth. Cups tip over. Prefer not to do epoxy. I don’t own a planner. Considering a router sled? Other ideas? Wondering if I can re-add the blade marks after leveling.

What’s the best way to join wood planks to make rustic table overlay
so not sure on the question and what exactly you are trying to do but you have a few cheap options to joint wood boards together, first off the glue will do most of the work.
1 pocket holes (kreg pocket hole jig can be bought for as little as $20)
2 Doweling jig (Rockler $25 - $65)
3 Rockler Bead lock ($90)
honestly for something like this i would go with dowels, i would select the thickness of the dowels to be 1/3 of the thickness of the board.

Hi all. So I love to repurpose anything I can. I’ve got an old faux marble top table that I want to make a wood plank table overlay for (to go right over top). Want it to be rustic farmhouse so thought I’d give it a try. It’s a pub height table in the eating area of my kitchen (square) and the size is pretty good but I will want to make it a tad longer (rectangular). I’m limited on tools yet so looking at different options to join the boards and then I’ll need to adhere to the faux marble top with a strong adhesive since this is a cheaper piece of furniture with nothing solid to screw into really. Gonna chalk paint and antique the legs as well.
What’s the best way to join the boards? I will have them planed as much as possible. Biscuit joiner? I’m trying to not invest too much in new tools right now. The table is only lightly used but obviously needs to be secured either way. Any tips or advice?
