Hi cvr_30
Welcome aboard,
My recommendation,
If you have the appropriate tools, saw, chisel, bevel gauge
marking gauge, bite the bullet and just give it a go. Use
some scrap wood and do your worst, with enough practice
you'll be doing your best work. Keep the books beside you
as you go, kinda like baking a cake.
