You need to do some close-up shots to show the finer details you are talking about. The fixed, wide-shot camera position doesn’t do it!

at 11:35 you cut the piece off to measure for 3/8 ” accuracy. Is there any reason you just didn’t cut the piece off at the table saw and then adjust the height once that is the correct width?

Sure, using the tablesaw to cut off the piece would work. You gotta be careful cutting little piece so they don’t come flying back at you, however. That’s why I chose the simpler approach of cutting off the piece with a handsaw. —Tom Caspar
