Make the top like a butcher block, cutting the pieces from wider 2x stock. Joint the sides, glue up enough "strips" that will fit on the jointer using a flat surface and clamps. Now joint the glued up strips and run them over the jointer and then plane to thickness. Now glue up the pieces into a bench top. For the sander I'd be able to glue up the center well at one height and then tune the end pieces to match the top of the sander table - so it shouldn't be as difficult as it might seem at first. Doesn't mean it will be easy for me, but it might not be as big a deal as it initially seems. The article that talks about the work benches has a good idea.

I would imagine the building a table for the sander would be difficult, mostly trying to get the infeed/outfeed level with the table. Maybe having some kind of adjustment capability in those benches would help with that issue. This sounds like a great plan.
