re: Better Miters

It looks to me that you are picking up on this very fast Abbas. I had problems with the wandering ruler too, although I used a straight edged piece of wood to guide my veneer saw. I found that It helps a lot if you can clamp down one end of the ruler/guide when possible and use your free hand to hold down the other end while you cut. I think a piece of wood is better than a ruler for 3 reasons: (1) the wood can be a lot thicker than a ruler and therefore easier to keep your saw tight to the edge of the guide at 90 deg. (2) A wooden guide can be much wider and therefore make it easier to keep your fingers further away from the cutting edge for safety. (3) Wood clamps better than thin steel.
