This is one of the supports for the desk / work bench portion of this project. This page covers making raised panels.

This is the bench top, made from 2X red oak stock. This page covers stock orientation, use of a biscuit joiner, and gluing and clamping large assemblies.

This page covers making the mitered breadboard edge that surrounds 3 sides of the bench top. This is a joint that allows you to join pieces that have grain patterns that are perpendicular.
