Super easy to route a hidden one in. I did it on my Ikea bedside table. Just measure the depth, take 3-5mm off of that and set your router depth. Draw a template underneath and that's it.

Yeah, my routing skills aren’t great, and going through extra thick oak makes me think I may screw it up… I have a list of jobs for a chippy at some point, so might add it to the list!

Honestly, it's super easy.

It doesn't need to be that neat as it'll be hidden. Mine is secured in the routed channel with hot glue.

The only thing I would say is make sure you don't attempt it in one pass - route out the template in at least two, maybe three goes.
