The main thing I think you're missing is something to join the pieces. OP would be domino joiner but biscuit joiner is more likely in budget or a cheap dowel jig. Just gluing them as butt joints would be a pain.
As you've highlighted, the best way to do the groove would be a router but, with a track saw, you could quite easily do two passes at 45deg.

thanks, didn't know about those joiners, bit more than budget allows atm but will set up some ebay alerts. Dowel jig looks decent though, presumably can be used in general for drilling perpendicular holes?
The groove is going to be the challenge..I was thinking I'd probably have to saw it in half at 45deg and just flip one side over. Piece will probably be too wide to use the mitre saw but maybe you can do it in 2 cuts if you flip it round? Otherwise will have to see what features the incoming circular saw has and just clamp (oh..clamps!) a piece of wood to it

Oh, maybe this is a good cheap option coming up then

Hi all,
I'm taking a break from stripping wallpaper and don't want to delve into the world of plastering/skimming/lining paper yet so going to start a new project.
I'd like to have a go at making this.
I picked up these heavy wood kitchen worktops for free (don't have a car so walked 2 miles with them and my forearms ached for a week) which I think will be suitable.
For tools I have:
obviously not the arsenal many have and don't have the budget to get too much but what else would you recommend?
I'm thinking
