Tolerences...

Hi, All,I'm wondering what tolerence one uses when cutting pieces in general.I am currently making an end table from pine as a prototype for the 2real ones for the LR. I can usually cut boards to 1/32 of an inch ofwhat I had on my plans, but when assembled, I see small gaps or areasthat I have to plane down.I rather enjoy the "extra" woodworking, but am wondering if this dueto being a poor woodworker, or if this is normal procedure. Samething with right angles. I set the table saw up with a machinist'ssquare, and a "tight eyeball", and get pretty good results, but canstill get a 1/16 inch error on a 24 inch square board.What do you guys get on the average?????Thanks.....
