I mostly copied the design from Ana White. I foolishly decided to change the angles, since I had just bought a miter saw. It added complexity for not much benefit. I wish I'd made the gaps between the table's 2x6's larger, .5" instead of .25", only because it's too narrow to paint the polyurethane.

The cut list is in the picture as well as here. Note that the angles are different, depending on how you measure the angle. These are the angles you'd set on the miter:
qty. dim. length dscrp. cut ends measured
7 2x6 72" tabletop square --
2 2x4 39 13/32" side apron 50deg trapezoid long-to-long point
2 2x4 27 35/64" diag. table support 30deg parallel long-to-short
2 2x3 49 7/32" long apron square --
2 2x3 30 7/16" short apron square --
4 1x4 44 11/32" leg-long 50deg parallel long-to-short
8 1x4 22 11/64" leg-segment 50deg & 10deg diamond long-to-short
