Method to cut cross pieces with Radial Arm Saw

This is a method that I developed in 2008 to cut the dadoes on the two pieces of the cross for the cross lap joint.  I used my old Craftsman radial arm saw (circa 1970) at that time.  In February of 2015 I purchased a table saw, gave the radial arm saw away, and developed a new, better, and safer process which I will document in a future post.
