Alan, I actually recommend cutting the 45 deg angles and dado on the table saw. But in another post http://forum.carvewright.com/showthr...ters-for-a-box I made a 45 deg angle for a member. He cut the boards and they fit.
To answer your question, I like to use biscuits for joining the edges, they hold the box firm while gluing. Another method is dowels, and splines. These all work great to hold the pieces as you get them ready.

On this box anyone that buys the box will have to make sure they have the wood attached to a carrier board or they may cut the pieces loose and jam the bit, thus breaking the bit.

I have a couple of unique boxes I have designed on paper, and needed a way to precisely build the box, that is why I came up with a better way to build the box in MoI3d. (not urns this time) I plan to do a video when I have time.

Note: in each of the urns I sell, I have instructions, they may be simple but it is a guide.

Demo of a jewelry box I am designing. This is not the box I will end up making. Close but I have some faults in the design. Columns are not positioned right for carving. I do not want the flutes at the 45 deg cut line. Anyhow it is close and an experiment. My plan is to assemble the box and cut the top loose right above the door. The top will be an upside down carving, meaning the carved area will be down touching the box sides (may end up being a 2 sided carve). The bottom I plan to make it look like stairs going up to the doorway. Not sure about final surface on the sides, I am thinking of a stone look. I will figure that out when I get to that point. All sides will look the same. Again this was done using only moi3d.

Very good idea and design

Great minds think alike! I designed an Urn (for my Aunt) inspired by your latest design. I used rope columns at 45 degrees!
