Well This Is Embarrassing... Fixing Mistakes and Upgrading... Already

Sometimes I rush into a project and the results are less than optimal.
The first clue is that I make more mistakes than I usually do and that's due to a lack of detail planning.
The second is I don't build-in the features I originally thought of because my overall confidence in the project was low while building it (and making so many mistakes).
Most of the stuff you'll see on TH-cam is made to look flawless and work perfectly the first time. Reality is that video is magical in that you can make an otherwise failed project look successful.
I won't say my miter guide was a complete failure, but it wasn't what I pictured it would be when I first started designing it.
I guess the lesson with this one is to have more respect for the design stage of the project, rather than taking the attitude that I can "fix it on the fly" when problems crop up. I can fix it, but it leads to a sub-optimal result and tarnishes my desire to use it.
The upgrade to indexed angles and rebuilding and reconfiguring the stop make this a worthy addition to my shop and a tool I'll be proud to say I made.
