My mood swings and the rather hot(100's) weather around here the past weeks have kept me from working much on completing my nightstand(aka somnae) that I mentioned here some week(s) ago. In making some parts for the thing I though I'd try making some of the frame joints a different way than I had in the past. FWIW the following documents what I went through in my conversion away from using my dado set to make lap joints.
What a Dado Set is Not Good For.

On Monday I used the same technique for a small project I was working on. With no router and no dado blade I didn't have much alternative. I like your tenon jig. It got me thinking that if I attach my 90 and 45 degree jigs back to back (so it rides over the fence) it will be just about perfect.
