I want to make this beehive

, it's called a "WBC"hive if anyone wants to read about it.

Basically I have no idea how to make the finger joint at at angle like
that. Im sure i could work out the angles, but cant work out how
tomake it with a router.

My first take on this is that it might be impossible to do with a
router. (At least impossible to make joints that don't have gaps in the
corners.)

What occurs to me is to make the cuts on a table saw, with the blade
tilted and with a wedge underneath the piece to make the compound angle.
Then finish cutting the joints with a chisel (chopping out the waste).

This is for a box joint: I wouldn't even want to speculate about making
angled dovetails. Possible, but a headache.
