Sure thing.

I have a very portable, inexpensive table saw and an older Delta chop saw. So, I decided to make all of the cuts @ my folks' house. Dad has a really nice Ridgid table saw and a nice sliding compound miter saw. I rough cut everything, then made the final cuts.
One major screw up was buying wood from the local lumber yard. It was straighter, sure, compared to Lowe's/HD stuff, but not as dried out and one of the breadboards warped so badly upon drying out I had to remove it and make another one.
The sanding was 50, 80, 120 with the belt sander. Then 60 and 80 with a disc sander. Then 80, 150, 220, 320, 400, and 600 with a 1/4 sheet sander. I think - I may be forgetting something.
Thank you all for the comments. Back to trolling the 911 used parts section I go...
