Speaking for myself, I am talking theory based on experiences on setting up similar types of processes. Often an apparently complex problem can be resolved satisfactorily, and often more accurately, by a carefully thought out plan. I have solved a few of the issues outlined above by the basic premise of the K.I.S.S. method. Often it is necessary, in order to avoid the problem of actually being careful, to employ a simpler and more thought out approach to fine joinery. Cheating, I guess, is the best way to describe it. I have done quite a bit of mullion work involving curved work. It is impossible to execute this type of joinery with the methods I have described as the form of the curve is created prior to the joinery. But with respect to the perfectly angular, the Hepplewhite breakfront e.g., it is entirely possible to develop a method of standardizing each cut using patterns and jigs which virtually eliminate the need to tweak every joint. The fundamental idea here is to predict the variables that will be encountered and by careful evaluation, eliminate them. That is all.
