No, I'm not happy with the results. I drafted out the square, checked with the 3,4,5 method, made the cuts and when I flip the panels over together they are off by about 3/32" across the 24 inch width.
I'm just going to be sure they are oriented the same and let them be off.
Maybe some day I will have decent equipment, time to work and space to lay things out. I think part of the problem was wood expanding several weeks after i cut and planed it. It took me a while to get back around to it.
Now the panels are cupped about 3/16 inch and I have to clamp a straight caul to the panel to get the dovetails to line up...
I can't win. :dontknow:
