OK I give, in case your wondering what I've been doing with SWIFTWOOD I'm kinda stuck.

How do you cut the cotton picking scarfs on the shear clamps?

This is what I've tried so far. I've manually holding the saw and wood - forget it unless you Norm Abram! I've tried to fit it into my adjustable miter box. Which BTW only goes out to 45 degrees. A proper 6to1 scarf is about 9 degrees. So I clamped it down. Only to find that the wood was hitting the fittings on the miter box. So I spaced it up with a cutoff 2x4. I clamped the wood down and cut it only to find out that the wood is not perfectly square. So I need a piece of angle iron to clamp, instead the side too.

Hopefully this will work.

Any tips.

Whats the steepest angle you've found that will work?
