it was easier than i anticipated it to be! purchase the board, have them cut it, cut out the 'notch' with an electric handsaw, cut the legs from a 1.5" dowel rod, add the leveling feet, stain, and varnish!
yay me!

p.s. i paid big money for one for my Janome, but because of the clean lines on this one, i did it myself for about $15 (not including the cost of power tools that i should have had anyway and will use for other projects).
