   I don't know what flared out sides means. The picture looks like normal through dovetails. When I did a search on the FWW site search engine, 3,948 things popped up. Here is one by Doug Stowe. It talks about wooden hinges which is not worth trying without a drill press. One of the grooves for the lid is very thin and very deep which you really need a table saw to accomplish. I did make it without those tools but wouldn't recommend doing it that way. I used routers, scratch stock, and chisels, power drill, and it was time consuming and very fussy work.

   There was an article in FWW concerning building a serving tray with angled sides and through dovetails a good number of years back. Just when I am unsure as I sold my paper back copies and my CD will not work on my new computer.

   The old book "Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking - Joinery: Tools and Techniques" Taunton Press 1979, shows how to lay out Hand Dovetails with compound miter, pages 78 thru 80.

   There was a great episode of Rough Cut with Tommy Mac (original Tommy Mac) that showed how to make a compound angle serving tray. S01 E09- "Serving Tray". Great episode, great show. He had a really smart and neat trick on the table saw to get the ends and sides lined up correctly. I don't know how you watch it anymore (used to be on Amazon Prime at least, then legal crap happened). You can buy the DVD on Amazon at least.

   This Popular Woodworking has some instructions on compound dovetails. https://www.popularwoodworking.com/projects/compound-dovetails/
