OK, I've been working on this project that is what I call a mail organizer. It a series of thin 7/32 maple vertical dividers about every 3-4" with a full bottom and a partial top, each of the vertical dividers is curved on the front top corner.
I now would like to divide the middle space with a horizontal shelf. While there will be very little weight on any of this I'm not confident that a butt joint of a 7/32" piece will last????
Any ideas? I've considered making a small saw blade thick dado but it would need to be a stop data on the front. That means I would have a lot of hand work to try to square up the end of the stop.
I also though of a router bit to make a dado but the smallest bit I can find is a undersided 1/4" plywood bit. I did find a spiral bits for the rotozip of 5/32 but the shank is too small for the 1/4 collet of a router.
Sorry for no pictures right now but I thought I ask this tallented group for ideas? Maybe I'm overengineering but I don't think the butt joint will be good over time.
Any ideas?
