Doubley like this since the guide also protects the finished surface from monster scratches. Saves me taping off my finish pieces so they dont get scratched.

Ya, it is super handy. He uses a fairly thick piece of wood, I actually made mine of 1/8" ply with the edge guide 3/4" that gives it rigidity. The thinner ply makes for a lighter guide and allows you to cut thicker material. I had watched a different video when I made mine, can't find it now but he recommended going thin.
So nice not to have to measure out from your line though, and try to clamp a guide back from it the right distance. I always fought with that. This you just line up with your line, clamp it and cut!
