Upgrade your miter saw! - Build this Stop Block with precision adjustment

The prequel to this episode was a three part series documenting the rest of the build of my miter saw station. In case you missed that series, I'll add links just below this text. I finally got around to adding the crowning touch to this project which is the stop block. It's a simple concept but it's a super useful timesaver that gives me repeatable, accurate cuts without having to break out a tape measure each time I need to cut something to length. It's creature features like this that are steadily making my shop start to feel like a legit wood shop.
This system includes a built-in measuring tape and we'll also add a precision adjustment on the stop block so you can dial in the measurement perfectly. Even if you change the saw blade to a thinner or thicker kerf, the measurement will be off unless something with this kind of adjustability is present in the design.

3rd time was a charm for the acrylic piece 👍

[@hesaid-sheshed]

Yah, there's probably better ways to go about that but that was the only method I could think of at the time, given the tools I have available. There's always something new to learn!
