What is the 'good' way to cut a stopped dado in plywood, using hand tools. I could do it with a powered router, but why put up with the noise and dust. I've done them in 'real' wood by drilling holes at the end with a forstner bit, cutting the sides with a saw, and clean out with chisels and a router plane; I've also done them without the saw helping. Any other suggestions. I've got 4 stopped dados to make, about 3/4" wide by 9 to 10 inches long and 1/4 in. deep, stopped on only 1 end.
