wrndln, From the photo, looks like you used ash wood for your boards. You are correct the thickness is 11/16". Had some very good plywood that I had sanded down in Rochester, MN @ Vetsch Lumber Co to the exact thickness as Vetsch has a 36" wide sander. The dove tails can only be made on a good router table and not a table saw. Suggestion after you get the router table set make yourself some setup blocks that you can use the next time you need to make the cuts. I have multiple of these blocks for the rail and style frames that I use for cabinet making. Some of the more expensive bit for this have the set up blocks included with the bits and are made of high grade plastic.
