After getting the pieces cut for the box cut out I have got it glued together. It took me long enough to get it square before I could clamp it all together. Is there a good way to make a jig so I don’t have to take so long to play with it getting it squared.

I just use bandclamp, for higher boxes use two.
Some kind of a joint like a mitre or a rabbet makes it a lot easier, but just general buttjoints will work as well with bandclamps. You can make a jig for it, I think there was a box joint jig uploaded under brojects today in LJ, just look back a page or two. But in general a bandclamp will make quick work of it.

I have two hand made right angle “try squares” made of 3/4” plywood. I clamp them on the insides of two apposing corners. If two corners are square all corners will be square. Then just use your bar clamps as you did. Wish I could post a pic but…
