Step 4Making a Dado Groove

Making a Dado Groove
Pic 15A-Layout the groove, marking it 1/8" to 1/2" deep depending on how much weight it will hold.

B-Clamp a square cut block onto the board to keep your cut perpendicular.

C-After sawing both sides, hammer and chisel down to the bottom line.

D-Finished dado groove.

An easier way to cut the dado is to use a table saw with a dado blade. A router with a flat bottom bit also works well.
