The shooting board which I've been using for quite a while now is only 48"
long
so I wound up building a six-footer to make the bottom shelf (poplar) and
the
oak top. This was a place that I thought the extra length of a #8 joiner
was
useful (sorry Esther, its true).


As someone who jointed a 5' long table top 5 boards wide with a
#4 size old Craftsman (it was what I had and I didn't really know
better yet) if you have it, use it!


But having looked at the original picture, I am curious about
the drawer fronts.  Are they built up moldings around the edges
that fit the frame beautifully or what?  My eyes have trouble
resolving which is drawer and which is frame since "sunken"
faces are not the norm.
