Hi
I'm after some advice - I'm making a bench and my last 4 joints are stopped dados that will house the long stretchers. These are half-lap joints, and the vertical piece will end up being laminated to another to make a leg with a mortise to receive the stretcher's tenon.
Anyway, I need to chop a 80x70x30mm piece away from the leg. I've done 1 using a router (3 passes) to cut the sides and back and chiseled out the rest. My issue with that approach is that it's loud, messy and slow.
Any advice on a hand-tool approach that will make less dust and is more "sleeping baby" friendly ? How do I start the sides and get the bottom even?
I work in the garage and only time I get to fire up machines is when our baby up - so free time is when she's asleep. Sawing and chiselling is relatively quiet compared to a router and shop vac.
Thanks
Pete
