There are other sites that will give you step by step instructions, but the basic principle is that it is (at least for some of us) difficult to get an exact 45degree cut.
Nah, not hard to get a 45 degree cut, just a bit time-consuming maybe, and a bit of a PITA, but not hard. I'd have an exended "arm" then cut a couple of pieces on one end, for sides or ends, then clamp a stop block at he length you want, then cut to equal lengths. Repeat for shorter or longer pieces No prob. I would expect the same basic principle would work with a power mitre saw too. Me, I wouldn't bother unless I figured on making a batch.
JOAT I have anal glaucoma. I can't see my ass going to work today.
