I made this last summer right before my Grand daughter arrived in November. I used a self made router table and a skill saw. I glued up the panels and used a raised panel profile bit. I also profiled the edges for the raised panel using the router table and rabbeted the corners and glued it up. I used birch playwood for the top and bottom and also for the the three sides that didn’t have the raised panels. I used a piano hinge for the top. It looks great. i will add more photos as i can of other projects.

Eddy, If you can do that with a Skilsaw and a router, I can’t wait to see what you turn out when you get your shop up and running.

I hve to add something, when i said i made this with only a skill saw and and a router table, I neglected to say that i also used a jig saw, ramdom orbital sander and alot of hand sanding. i didn’t have the stationary tools that i have now. But i have to say it took longer by not having the table saw.
