I did finish the tisue box last week with those dovetail corners but I do prefer the corners mitred and the opportunity to put in stripe designs without dovetail restrictions,

So I attempted to cut boards again but used the Jet Mitre saw, I rescued the old workstation that used to be used with the old Axminster which had served 15 years and fitted it to the Jet saw as per photograph. (White arrow and cross indicate that station is clamped to saw) and a new positioned fence on table fitted.

I succeed partly with cutting mitres on the pieces for the longer sides of the new box but the short ends could not be held safely to fence when cutting and there was some slippage. Box glued and problem displayed in photograph below.

I am confident I can hide the fault, started building up the gap with some timber sawn with that Workzone bandsaw down to 0.64mm thick (so it can do the business) see photograph again.

Post view of repair tomorrow;

The repair to the bad corner works out OK:

So will complete the box but next time I shall have to have better fencing in place at the Jet sliding mitre saw.
