Off topic, but am I the only one that hates those bow tie things? I understand their function, but especially when they're a contrasting color, they look like bandaids.

Redd herring anyone? I don't even think what he's trying to do constitutes copying. No more than using an ogee or a piece of maple does.

Great video! Thanks for posting.

That's my suggestion, get a big radial arm saw. My DeWalt GE with a 20" blade can do a 45 degree miter on far thicker stock than the OP is using. The saw only cost $300 but a suitable blade will cost about that much as well.
When the OP is done, he should keep the big RAS as it is invaluable for dadoes, crosscuts, and miters.

I would start the cut with an 8" skill saw and finish the cut with my D12 Disston hand saw.

Exactly right, Johnny; Andy was either kidding (and left out the smiley face) or he was just being argumentative.
As for the job itself, from the photo the top piece looks fairly long, maybe long enough to become a weight and/or balance issue if trying to use a 45 degree sled with the blade vertical.

FD--what happened to original thought and the creative process? Why is innovation and thinking for oneself wrong?
ps. I wasn't kidding or being argumentative; just trying to help the OP and anyone with an open mind.

A thought just occurred to me about your miter problem. Contact Martin Woodworking Machinery and inquire about one of their table saws. They have some models that have cutting depths in excess of 5 inches; maybe more depending on model. Not too expensive.

They also tilt both left and right.

The $70k cut......

If the OP lives near me he can come by and cut it on my RAS. I wonder what country he lives in?
