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 YouTube 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.
