Free Bit Box plans - To make the box, I used a technique which was outlined in a book called The Weekend Woodworker, 101 easy-to-build projects - John A. Nelson is the author, and it's published by Rodale Press. His box wasn't for bits, but I borrowed his technique for my bit box. He suggests gluing all pieces together, completing the box totally closed, and then cutting off the top carefully, on your table saw. That way your lid fits perfectly. BUT, you must have completed any interior features before you glue it together, because you can't take it apart to add anything later. So precise calculations must be made and implemented prior to completing and gluing your box together.
