| I think my question got lost in the other thread.
Do I really have to use a router to cut a rabbet to except the glass? Could I just cut a dado slot down the side of each board and slide the glass into the slot instead of cutting a rabbet and glazing the glass? |

| I've made over 100 storm windows over the years as replacement ones for 100 year old houses in my city. The rabbet/glazing is the way to go. The major flaw of the groove plan is you cannot replace broken glass. |

| That makes a lot of sense. I never even thought about how I would replace any broken panes. Well, now I will have no excuse to not buying a router now. Thanks. |
