I'm new to woodworking and this is my first MFT build.  After looking at several videos and pictures, I attempted to make my own.

Excellent work!  I built a similar table w/o dog holes and it warped a little. I would recommend that some stiffening bridges are installed on the bottom.  I thought the breadboard edges like yours would keep it stable, but they did not.

Yes, I did the same because of the size of the top.  I have supports running front to back along the length of the table.  The bridges are pocket screwed into the breadboard edges.
