Unless you really mean lazy...
I do, I do! :lol:
But also I can cut the angles and guarantee the length all in one go on my TS jig whilst you are spending time checking lengths and attempting to get two pairs the same length.
The way I make boxes, clock cases etc is as follows.
Prepare the blank sides, leave the height/width over size, set the stops to required cutting length, cut one end at 45.
Mark cut end A. Cut matching joint on tother side of blade and mark as A, repeat for C and D.
Reset stops and cut opposite ends.
I now have 4 pieces of timer mitred on both ends of guaranteed size and fit. Make tea!
I now reduce height/width to remove any break out and glue up two corners on home brewed box jig, when dry repeat with other corner. I now have to 'L' shaped pieces that I can glue up knowing that they will fit.
Next make and fit top and base.
When dry I separate top from base by cutting on my trusty TS.
The sawn edges are then leveled, another nasty job with a plane I find, on my again home brewed, overhead router.
No chance of propellers or lids that will fit only one way.
Meanwhile, back at the shooting board.... :lol:
