lowest dollar solution? perhaps go get a coping saw.

Have you got a chisel? That would work. It sounds like you're trying
to cut a dado - a U-shaped cut in the board, rather than an L-shape, on
which you could just start cutting right in on the end. Lacking any
other tools I'd say your best bet is to continue to cut 1/2" cuts
between the original two, leaving a small bit of wood between each cut.
Then you can take a butter knife or something and break off the little
chunks.

Yet another use for that 22" radial arm saw from Original Saw....

Make a few more crosscuts between the two ends, knock out the pieces
with a hammer and clean up with a chisel. Cutting along the 2 1/4"
line with a razor knife or chisel will insure a clean break when you
knock off the pieces.

You might start by giving more information. I could not figure out which
direction your "notches" were to be cut from your description".

Me either, but my WAG is that the 2 1/4" cut isn't a cross cut.. *g*
