I started one a few years back.  Got the playing surface done and then life got in the way and didn't get the box done.  I glued up the quarter panels and then resawed them. https://i.imgur.com/DF696...

I have the Incra miter express and love everything about it.  It is small and easy to store.  I have all the accuracy and convivences the Incra 1000HD miter gauge has to offer.
