When I have done these in the past I did the hole before assembling the box, and cut the hole out with scroll saw, though a jig saw could be used, then with a bearing guided bit I refined the edge. I've made rounds, which are quite easy. ellipses can be done, but getting into the tight edges I've always had to do some fine hand tool work, so a more gradual corner works better. When done finish assembly.....

Since it takes me awhile to do things and I hate repeating things or even guessing I do this
1. Use a Angle Gauge when doing two parts that need to match.
2. When making a box or any other turned object that needs a lid. When making the cut to separate the top or lid from the base I leave a 32nd of wood on the base instead of cutting it flush so I know where I can hollow to.
I also found out lately that when I put Deft oil on an object while it is not moving it really soaks in and than I turn it up to 1800 rpm and get it hot and it brings out a gloss and seals it up nicely and I do the same with Shellac afterwards.
Anyone else have anything? Add at any time.

Just got me my order faster than Amazon prime. Never used them before but they just moved up my list.
Makes sense. You're only 2.5 hours away by car. You must have caught the mail cycle at the right time. I'll bet if I ordered from them, it would be at least 3-4 days. Closest large woodworking place I order from is in Utah. I usually get stuff from them in 2 days. Lee Valley and most of the rest tend to get shipped from back east and it averages about a week. Some places sell both via Amazon and their own store. I can sometimes get things faster thru Amazon than through the normal on-line store. I think one of those is Hartville Tool in Ohio.

If you are measuring the top to bottom and side to side at the center of the face frame, then your frame is a quadrilateral but not not a rectangle.

I mean, what angle do you use, and do you camber the blade at all?
For my block planes, I grind the blade at 25° and then freehand to anything between 30° and 50° depending on the application. As all of them are bedding at 12-1/2° that gives me an effective cutting angle of 42-1/2° (essentially standard pitch) to 62° (essentially half-pitch). I don't get wound around the axle about having a 37° blade available as so far, getting it SHARP had handled all of my endgrain situations.
I do add some camber on my LN164 blade. How much? Can't give you a measurement. Enough that the corners don't dig. There is probably just a touch on the block plane too but nothing I'm doing intentionally. The LA-Jack gets some too but again, mostly to prevent digging and I'm using it more as a short jointer than as a jack plane (except for occasionally using a toothed blade when all else has failed me).
