WWF - sorry about the confusion. The way you've shown is also quite correct - it's the way you would check a saw for correct set up. I was talking about a quick check for correct setting of 45 deg. Cut a straight piece in two, using a "45 deg" cut. Then, turn one piece over so the two sides of the cut make a mitre. If they are truly 45, the pieces will join at 90. If not, the error will be doubled.
Hope that clarifies.

so last night thanks to everyones advice I got it sorted, Are hours of setting up, my table saw is set at a perfect 45 degrees, It was set at 44.98.
Using corner clamps I glued the two sides together separately, once dry I joined the glued pieces to form the box, perfect!!!! checked all angles, perfect fit!!!!!!!!, it seems that maybe the glue was part of the problem, I dont think tape and some rubber bands were enough and in the drying process it was expanding the joints.
I will post some pic's soon, I have a few more Pine boxes to knock up for practice then I am on to the $$$$ Hardwood.
Out of interest I purchased a small Lie-Nielsen Router plane for the hinges, Its the smallest one they do, Have to say Wow!!! best thing I ever bought, Working with thin stock and small hinges this gets a crisp dead on cut every time, its the small detail that can make or break a small box , its my fav tool and as such my next box will be to store this little beauty!
thanks again everyone.

This is great news tonycrh, well done! How are you making sure the opposite sides of the box are exactly the same length?
regards,
Dengy
