Building a table takes time... especially if you have a racetrack like the above poster said. There are times you just have to wait... like for glue to dry.
Instead of trying to bang it out in one day... maybe plan a few days to do it. Either a Fri/Sat/Sun... or maybe three Sats in a row.
Here are pics of my table. Mind you I have absolutely NO carpentry skills... yet I was able to build this. I kinda want to sell this table and build another (just for the sake of building another table). Its actually pretty enjoyable to do.
