I read in one of the messages this statement:

"
I like Pat Warner's method for cutting dados with a router. He uses a bearing guided straight bit. Clamps a straigh board as a fence along one edge of the dado to guide the router. Then he puts the piece that will go in the dado up against the fence. Then a piece of paper and finally another fence. He runs the router between the fences to cut the dado. The piece of paper gives just enough clearance for gluing. Pretty slick method with no measuring.

I checked on Mr. Warner's site and can't find any pics/diagrams how to build it, I also did a search here and with goggle, and came up empty.....I would appreciate any help you can offer....I am trying to build the Planer table/cabinet in the Shopnotes magazine....

Many thanks....

This isn't Pat's but goes together quick and easy and works well.
