First of all, this is an excellent issue with some great tutorials on making hand tools. I very much recommend it.
That said, what's wrong in the photo? (Other than it loaded sideways!)

That's what I noticed too, Chet.

Good observation! My take as well, plus I would use my left thumb to hold the wood against the fence. As it is his left thumb could be a bit close & is doing nothing.

He is sawing with all of the right hand, left thumb is close to being sawed (early version of Sawstop?) Maybe the 45 degree cut is wrong...as in the angle should be the other way?
Contributor
He's using a late model British Saw when many better American models are available?

The mitre block would be difficult to reverse.

The left side of the miter saw backing fixture is only held down with one bolt. It should have two bolts going through it to keep it from pivoting.

But then I thought, what if I was to remove the saw and reveal a reverse miter angle slot in the face. Then unscrew the wing knobs holding down the plastic top pieces, flip the top pieces around/over for the reverse miter, and screw the wing knobs back on.

Bad manicure?
(Like most, the first thing I noticed was the forefinger)

I don't know... Fingernails too manicured? No sawdust?

The picture shows the block running in a track - fenced on front and back with an extension of the block on which it rides - to prevent pivoting. The extensions look weak, though; I can see them snapping off.

It's a rip saw when it should be a cross-cut?
I give up!
