Maybe someone will find this useful.
This weekend I needed to build a platform on which a gas stove/fireplace thingummy will sit on our ex screen porch. My CMS is bolted down on a cart in my shop and I wasn't all that happy about hauling it to the porch, I decided to use my Festool saw. To make it easier to make consistent cuts I banged together a miter box for it. I found some likely scraps and knocked it out. It ain't purty but it does the job. The far end pivots on a recessed carriage bolt and the near end locks in place with a single screw. It's not as quick to set the angle but it works fine for the job
Here's a better picture of the platform.
After the stove goes in and my knees recover, the carpet goes down and the porch will be finished.
