Ok, so I am a complete novice to woodworking but am determined to make a tv unit out of old scaffold boards, stain them down to make them look a bit rustic etc. I hope to end up with soomething like this:

...but about twice the width, and maybe deeper.
1) Joints - In the pic opn the link above the joints appear to be hidden i.e. there are no screws visible on the outside, how to I achieve this?
2) Stain finish - I'd like a waxed finish. Any idea what would get me from a sanded (but used) scaffold plank to something like in the photo on the link above?
3) Tools - What will i need? I've got the basics like a drill, would a jigsaw be a good investment for a project like this?
Any advice greatly appreciated!
