Step 2
Use a dado blade or router to cut a 1/2" deep groove 3/4" wide down
the center of the block.
|
|
|
Step 3
Cut or rout another groove perpendicular to the first.
|
|
|
Step 4
Use a hole saw or large spade bit to drill a 1-1/2" - 2" hole
in the middle of the board, at the intersection of the two grooves.
This hole will aid in alignment and help remove excess glue.

TIP:
A coat of polyurethane or varnish will help to keep glue from sticking to the blocks during setup.
