Next up: squaring up the ends of the dadoes.


There is certainly nothing wrong in doing that but there is no particuar
reason to do so as whatever goes into the dado can hide the minor gap
if the
dado end is left rounded.

Personally, I leave them rounded, would rather do something else with the
time it takes to square them.

I'm not sure what you mean. I made the dadoes with a 1/2" diameter bit,
thus the corners are rounded with a 1/4" radius. Unless I notch the ends
of the shelves (which seems like at least as much work as squaring the
corners), the gap will be visible.

You should notch the ends. That will be the proper way to do a stopped dado.


Here's the design:

The stopped dadoes hold the small lower shelves.
