I have checked both Ellis and Joyce (and almost everywhere else!) and can find scant information on this technique. It seems to me that E. and J. are just a little archaic in that they seem to suppose some skills with the various geometric values I don’t have. Can anybody shed some 2010 type light on this subject? Thanks

I've seen several articles
I've seen several articles describing garden tool trays over the last couple of years, but don't have references at hand. Depending on the strength required, a "simple" compound miter might be sufficient.
Here's a link for calculating the angles:

Doing dovetails or box joints adds a bit of complexity and aesthetic decisions.
Edit: Take a look in "Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking, Book 1: Joinery" - page 78 in my copy. It explains the proper layout for dovetails at compound angles, along with how to cut them.
