I've got a fun little project. My Nephew wants to make a little record holder like pictured.

He's got some lovely rough sawn Huon Pine boards that will be just perfect for this IMO.
Looking at the pics, I see an angled edge lap joint. I don't know what's inside... it might be reinforced somehow, or it might not. Perhaps not the strongest joint, especially since vinyl records are heavy, and I think this design is intended to be knockdown construction with no glue.
How might I go about making this?
I have the equipment needed to mill the parts from RS stock.
If I go with angled edge lap for joinery, I could cut a housing to reinforce the joint. Like this.

I'd probably do this on the table saw. Start by cutting the angled laps with the blade tilted to the desired angle. Then cut stopped housing by hand with chisels, clean up the bottom with router plane.
Does this sound like a reasonable approach?
