How deep did you cut the dados?

Thanks for sharing. This is an awesome idea. I am currently using a 2x6 that is a bit cumbersome to lift in and out. The hinge makes it more practical. For those of us that don’t have dado capabilities, I am wondering if using lattice strips tacked to the 2x6 or such with glue and brad nails at the same distances would yield the same results. Thanks again for sharing.

It might end up making the design a bit too far off, but you could go a different direction and cut slots 100% through the board and halfway down, then cut a corresponding rabbit in the separators to slot into those. That'd be a "simpler" set of cuts, but like the OP said, enough time and patience and you can simulate a dado stack with a bunch of passes with another spinning blade. A very typical technique is to do a handful of passes with a table saw or circular saw and then chisel the remaining wood out for joinery.
