Hi. Came here as a newbie and am attempting to accomplish the building of a portable kitchen island. This structure has 4x4" corner legs with a 1 1/2 x 3 1/3 braces in what I now know are grooves. I attempted creating the grooves by numerous, close circular saw cuts. Didn't work. So, I decided to learn about the Skill router I've stored in the basement for about ten years. I have never (before today) attempted to use a router and I have never seen anybody else use one. Online I was advised a "jig" would be helpful. I built a jig, but even with clamps I have not the imagination to picture how to set up a path that doesn't have an angle that not including a zero or five. My local hardware store said they couldn't do it. I have now spent more money than I would have if I had just purchased a mobile island. I'm hoping somebody can point me to an instruction or video of somebody effectively accomplishing what I am trying to do. If I knew somebody who did this kind of thing, I would ask for assistance. I want to cut a 3.5", 1.5" deep groove across 4 4x4's. I'm in Chicago, near north. Any suggestions (other than learn to knit?) Thanks.
