thats a nice miter jig one suggestion for your tube cutting jig is to make your end larger. you need it to be a little bigger than the biggest tube you are going to cut as you have to ensure if you are cutting your tube and it has a high spot it has to remain in contact at all times with your end plate to ensure the cut stays strait.
