Nobody has commented on the deliberate (honest lol) mistake.  Where my two sections join in the corner I should have joined them with two 45 degree cuts but figured it didnt matter.   :oops:

Obviously the door card wouldnt go over it and quite possibly the door wouldnt have closed.  Slight last minute adjustment with the grinder and it all fits perfectly now! :lol:
