Well, one thing for sure, it would give you hours untold of time to play, play, play. (LOL) After spending what that router bit set will cost you could easily justify the enormous amount of time you will spend on any project as *research* time to really nail down the routing procedure.

As you have stated most of those doors slats are pretty thin. Most I have saw have either a toungue and groove or a ship lap joint. Mostly for keeping the door aligned and hiding cracks or dust control.. What Ray has described is interesting. Which will break first the fabric on a normal door or the thin wood on this new joint? Whitchever, but a interesting joint.

Hi Dale and others, I would think the prospect of making such a joint in wood which is as thin as the tops of most roll top desks I have seen would be extremely difficult. Most of the slats I have seen are, at most, a quarter of an inch thick. Some of the older roll tops I have seen have leather as the fabric to which the slats are attached.
