Trying to build a picnic table using lots of 1 1/2" x 6" finished dimension cedar. Design calls for lots of notches cut 1 1/2" x 3" deep to interlock the framing. Want to cut accurate tight notches to provide strength best I can but there are lots of pieces and the notches are not all in same locations so will be lots of setup work. Thinking a dado setup may be best but will require lots of repositioning and test cuts to get accurate width cuts. The more I look at this the more difficult it gets.

Any bright ideas that would speed this up or work better? Some type of template and use my big router?
Thanks.
