The following table lists the materials I purchased for the project
along with their costs (in US dollars). The costs do not include sales tax.
I already had wood glue, 1" drywall and 2" decking screws, paste wax,
etc. on hand, so I didn't include them in the table. Factoring in their
costs (if needed), plus sales tax and other miscellaneous items, brings
the total to something very close to $200.

- I purchased the veneer from Tape-Ease.
Even though it costs more, I like the two-ply veneer because it's very easy to
work with.
- Other than the veneer, I was able to find all the needed materials at local
home improvement stores (Lowe's and Home Depot).
- Even though I needed at most 2 feet of the 2" x 2" aluminum angle for the
feet, the shortest length I could find locally was 8 feet.
