a router is necessary.

Thanks for the encouraging tip. It's mostly hand tools here, but can
lay my
hands on a mitre saw. Might save on the elbow grease.

The one I'm referring to is a power circular saw of which there is a fair
choice at reasonable prices - but it's a large thing to store if you don't
need it for other things. I only used it because I already had it - a good
tenon saw would have done as well with some care.
