ready to make a test cut. The resulting dado was just a bit narrow, and a few swipes with the smoothing plane on the bottom of the shelves made for a snug fit.

After routing the three dados in each of the case sides, I began to make the second jig, which is used to cut the mortises. The mortises are ⁵/s" wide and 2³A" long, and they are equal distances from the front and back of the case sides witha 3" space in between. Rather than cut the mortises in the jig, 1 made them by assembling pieces of '/2"-thick plywood in two layers.

I laid out the locations of the mortises on the larger, bottom part of the jig, then I glued and nailed smaller pieces along the layout
