I'd be tempted to put a double glazed unit in instead of a single pain. You can get stepped units so one piece if glass is larger than the other, enabling it to be fitted without having to rebate any deeper. You can then put a beading on the inside.

The reason your piece of Walnut got thrown back was your rip fence shouldn't pass the centre point of the blade, from the front of the blade to the centre the blade is holding your timber down. After that it's only going to launch it skywards. The saw blade should ideally be set with the tooth...

Has anyone fabricated anything to make it extract better. There's an attachment on my crown guard...
