Here are some photos of what I was working on. I ended up making a Paul Sellers style miter 'box' (Youtube) and, best I could, cut the 44+ degree slot into that. When I dry fit the corners I found that my angle wasn't precise, so I simply drug the angled surface along a finer sandpaper in the hopes that I was making things better.
I did the best my eyes could do and glued it up. Found that one corner was open on the inside so I did the Dan Erlewine (Youtube) superglue and fine shavings trick. And it worked!!

You do realize that you're the only one who will ever notice any flaws, don't you?

[ChuckBarnett]

Likely that is true. But I'd like to minimize that as best I can. :)

Of course. I think we all try to achieve perfection. I do find, however, that on occasions when I'm driving myself to a complete melt-down over some detail I've screwed up, it helps to back off a bit and reflect that nobody else is going to obsess over it anywhere near as much as I am.

It's not a mistake unless you can't fix it
