Wood workers? advice needed

I guess I need to say I don't have a table saw. I have a idea of what I want the final piece to look like. I only hope I can do it right.

I haven't done a lot of box joints, but I would suggest cutting the "fingers" 1/4" longer than needed for any splintering that always seems to happen when I attempt it. Very easy to sand off the excess rather than trying to fix a void.

I have done box joints, but always with a table saw and a jig. What tools do you have?
