Seems pretty simple and a drill/sander/miter saw would be enough. Not sure I could do the angled edges though without some kind of large table tool only found in woodworking shops.
That was probably 90% done on a table saw, 10% done with a router (I would have routed the inside bevel, you can probably also cut that on the table saw with good planning). Maybe a miter saw, but anything you can do with a miter saw, you can do more precisely on a table saw. You probably also need some means of jointing and planing your stock for the panels, either using a hand plane or dedicated jointer/planer. Getting good panels is remarkably hard. You probably want a 1/2" groove for the center panel to sit in, router or dado cut that.
The pictured piece probably uses dominos for the leg joint, use dowels instead.
In all cases you will need a drill and clamps.
The full set of tools I would approach this with are:
Table saw
Jointer
Planer
Router
(Maybe bandsaw and miter saw depending on workflow for the legs)
In terms of power tools you can scrape by with:
Table saw
Planer (use MDF board jointer trick to flatten one side)
Jointing hand plane (for panel glue up edges and doing final fitting work)
If you have access to S3S lumber, you can use a hand plane in place of a dedicated planer.
This is also doable entirely with hand tools and a bit of patience, but then you need to invest time in learning how to use them well.
I can only get my miter saw to about 1/32nds precision on a good day, table saw can easily get to 1/64ths (maybe better, but I can't measure it well at that point)
I'm not sure how a machine that has a sloppy pivot and (god forbid) super sloppy linear bearings for the sliding feature is supposed to compete with a motor fixed to a frick huge cast iron bed.
This joint is very iffy.
There’s no way in a real table that was meant to hold anything, that this would be a butt joint.
Mortise and tenon maybe. It’s not pinned though. Biscuits/dowelled? Meh.
Looks like modern particle board design. You don't need much in investment to size, cut and drill particle board, but when it comes to laminating, it's in the thousands of dollars of equipment.

First take with a TV on it undoubtedly collapsed, so they glued it back and just put a few knick-knacks n it instead. Should hold up long enough to make a facebook marketplace sale. Just don’t use your actual address, go find someone on vacation and have it “ready to go” on the front lawn.

You woodgays try to overcomplicate everything.
> use welding rods and glue them
you weldgays always overcomplicate things
just make it out of concrete
simple as. will last 10,000 years. approximately 500,000 lbs per leg.
Having watched a bunch of joinery strength tests in YouTube videos, assuming that is 6 square inches of walnut long grain to long grain mating surface with four dominos, I'd eyeball it at like minimum 250lbs of weight per leg to snap it. Then again I'm just a guy that watched some YouTube videos.

You will spend $500 on material & a few hundred on tools and it will not look anywhere near as good as the picture if you have to ask these questions. Find someone on Facebook to make it or just order from the seller.
Call your local lumberyard. If you have a rockler nearby they stock some wood, depending on where you are there might be decent woodworking specialty shops in town.
woodworkerssource sells S3S packs with free shipping that are comparable per board foot to buying locally, again depending on where you are in the country.
If you have to ask these questions, you should really try getting a few smaller projects made of cheaper wood under your belt before tackling this, you don't want to turn $650 in walnut to scrap because you don't know what you are doing.
Why does every fricking tutorial wood YouTube channel assume everyone has a full wood shop in their house. Almost no videos exist for the average person
Same goes for the fab channels where they build go karts and stuff. All regular people have is a welder ,drill and angle grinder
that's the sort of channel that gets views. I watch my mechanic and clickspring because they have everything and know everything (it seems), and I marvel at the end result. It's the entertainment factor, more than me learning. Certainly there are beginner channels (or at least some videos) on any topic, I'd assume.

Compound slide miter saws aren't terribly expensive or large
table saw and a custom sled

You could have saved a lot of time by just saying "I'm moronic, disregard" up front.

fricking morons.

that can only be made properly with tools from the 60s.

Reverse image says is walnut.

you have already failed.
Where you guys buying wood at? Lowe’s/HD have shit selection and I don’t want to call a local lumber yard. Any place online?
>Any place online?
sure if you want to pay 10x what the wood is worth.

The learned from This Old House. Half of watching those shows is seeing the nice af tools they get to use for every menial task.
Real carpenters are going to have dozens of their own home brew jigs and make shift devices, but it's not as flashy.
you could probably build that entire thing with a hammer and chisel, really depends on how long you want the project to take
