I think you could get close, and finish with chisels and a forstner
bit referenced from the routed section.
My question is: Do the mortises have to
be that deep for this kind of
construction, or could I go with
something shallower? If shallower is
acceptable, would it be ok to go 3/4"?
How big is the door?
For a smaller door, you'd be fine. For a larger door, like the lower
cabinet kinds kids like to ride on, I'd go the distance.
