Herb, could you show me the set up you would use on the table saw to cut diamond shapes?

I would do it something like this, Instead of turning the board over on every other cut to make a closed figure, you would make a cut, then slide the board to the stop, cut, slide the board to the stop, make another cut, repeat.

Then set up for the next length, do all those cuts, for the ones that are beveled towards each other, make a cut, turn the board over to make the cuts like shown in the pictures.

I see, that looks like a good way to make them. I'm guessing you have a really good miter gauge or a way to verify the 45?

Yes ,I do, I use the MiterSet  gauge, but you can do it with a combination square, or a draftsman's square too. Or cut a guage from a scrap on your miter saw to set the miter gauge with.
