I'd agree with what I.S. said, make sure you read up on and run
through some tutorials for coding a table and its data source by
hand. Aaron Hillegass does a great job of this in Cocoa Programming
for Mac OS X. As a Cocoa newbie this is a great book to hit the
ground running. It assumes prior programming knowledge, but starts at
the basics (like table data sources) and goes right up through to the
advanced. I'm not the first to recommend his book on this list and I
know I won't be the last.

Does anyone have any comments on my design so far?
Overcomplicated. :-) If I were writing a quick utility to do as
you're looking to do, I'd probably implement it all in a single
application controller. There's no real design advantage in
something with so few requirements and simple is always best.
If your project becomes more complicated (the app controller is too
big to manage mentally / textually, or some parts of your controller
layer need to be reusable), you can decide what to parcel out into
more logical divisions. For now, though, there's nothing wrong with
using a single controller and nothing to gain from using multiple
ones.
Also, the general advice (with which I concur whole-heartedly) is
to steer clear of Cocoa Bindings until you've masted the Cocoa
Basics. That is, for your tables, try the NSTableDataSource protocol
to see the nuts and bolts of tables before worrying about the more
complicated Bindings machinery.
Good luck and happy coding!
