I guess before specific recommendation, what's the material, what size
is it and what size dado? Also, what do you have for tools other than
not having a dado set?

It is oak, and the shelves are 1 by. Yes, I do have a router and have
considered that. Not sure how easy it would be to plow through oak,
though.

Been there, done that. Not too difficult.

Use a good quality carbide tipped cutter and make several shallow cuts. I made
a frame that the router slides in and snugs up along the outside of the
plank(s). When doing shelves, I like to do the two sides at the same time to
ensure that the shelves are spaced dead on
