Ok, I'll save all the info towards the next time I try metal working.....time to get back to chopping wood
Wood deck was cut to size, back edge has a champfer block planed to fit the box. Laid out some toys. Laid out the dados.
Had one chopped out..

Had the square reset to the depth I wanted. Chisel is from Aldis. Mallet?

Was hiding back here, where the second holder was stored. Soon had this mess..

All cleaned out. Knife a line, couple whacks with the chisel into the line, pare away the waste, until flat and smooth. Test fit the second holder...

Those little spots? Appears the screws to hold the deck ( which I reused from the other deck) were a "tip" too long. Beltsander to level things down. I had to turn the back guide for the saw around, so the keeper latch up on top was facing the "correct" way. Slide the saw back into place...
