I like the idea of single dovetail.
Its just that for me the tooling I have was better suited hidden sluts and
dowels.
Maybe after making the proper fixture to use with the standard router I can
using the single dovetail system.
Conversely, it may be about time that I get a dedicated shaper with ground
cast iron table or make a proper routing table.

However when the furniture's
remains in the family it's a good feeling to leave marks of good
craftsmanship.

I put a 1" wide ledge inside the bed rails and dovetail 1/4 oak slats into
the ledge. Easy to move, easy to assemble or disassemble and they stay in
place while being used. The end of the slat is a single dovetail.
