In this video I'm cutting out the jig templates from 1/2" plywood using the band saw. I cut the first one out and then used it as a template to mark the rest of the boards. This really helped to ensure that all of the boards were very similar in shape.
When I got all six of them cut out, I alighned the front edges and screwed them all together with a couple of 3" sheet rock screws. Then I took my belt snader and smoothed everything out, making them all EXACTLY the same size.
Current members of the Quickie Builders Association have access to the full construction video, instructions, and a full sized template that will allow you to make one of your own.
Become a member, and you'll have access to all this in Q-talk Issue 139 found in the online newlsetter archive! Or you can just stay tuned for the next few months and see me build the rest of it here for free! 
As always I invite your feedback below, or in the forums!
