One additional thing you may want to do is to make a test joint, and when that is OK, make a gauge block and fit it to the inside of that test joint. It may make it easier to mark subsequent joints (and if you keep the offcuts, they will help you to clamp the gauge block to each part), and if the project works well and people ask you to make more, then the repetition becomes easier.
Or you might want to make the gauge block first, then cut the test joint (or make a cheap and cheerful prototype)and see how it looks.
