Pew Box Project - Part 2

Once the coves were cut I had to cut the dado on the backside of the side pieces to hold the back panels. Instead of routing the dados on each individual piece I left the material at its original length of 60 inches. The dados were cut in two passes of 1/8 of an inch each to reach the final depth of 1/4 inch. After the dados were cut I switched out the 1/4 inch router bit with a 1/8 inch round over bit to round over the outward facing outside edges to give the pieces a cleaner look.
