For not much money you can get a routering mortise jig, probably at the box
store.

Sharp scribing knife and an even sharper chisel. Rough to
within 1/16" of the scribe line and pare to finish -- making the
first chop at the line mashes it and spoils the fit. That last
1/16" pops off square, clean, and dead on the mark.

Easier to fine tune the cutter depth than a tailed router.
Yep, and my router plane assures equal height in the mortise assuring a
flat plate. I like this thing.

I have no experience with the job, but I have a feeling a picture is
worth a thousand words. I would suggest seeing if there is something on
YouTube.com
Good luck!

Router planes (like the Stanley 71 and 71-1/2) are wonderful tools.
