i'm making a dresser that is going to be part of a modern child's bed. the piece will be 75 inches long (to match the length of the single mattress), 18 inches wide and about 18 inches tall.
in short, a big rectangle.
i would typically put the tails on the sides and pins on the top / bottom. for the the vertical dividers, i am going to use solid wood panels with sliding dovetails. so they can go in after the outside case is glued up.
if i put the tails on the side, i would do beefier than usual pins because it would be supporting a 75 inch span. are beefy pins enough? or should i put the tails on the top and bottom?
