I actually built the frame from crappy construction 2x4s milled down to 3/4 x 3 because this is mostly a proof of concept and learning project. You can use a table saw to do a decent approximation of what a planer or a jointer does by fixing the work pice to a sled. This worked kind of poorly for me, but that was my fault, and next time I'll do a better job. I spend a lot of time sanding out saw marks and never got a great result. Tamar uses a planer in this video for the first side, but I think you can see how you could do it just with a table saw, for small pieces. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWOB-WIDkOs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AWOB-WIDkOs
