Even though i'm a carpeneter i have a quick question. How do you make a rip over 45 degrees when your table saw only tilts that far. a jig?

Yeah,.... I would.... Angle plate on the table surface should do the job, but it is pushing the limits a bit. Probably also needs two people on hand to do it if it's a large piece.

Ayrk:

Subtract the angle you want from 90 degrees, tilt the blade that much, and flip your board over so you are cutting the inverse. For example, if you need a 60 degree angle, set the blade at 30 degrees and flip the board around.

I'd recommend practicing on a scrap piece or two, I know it took me a few tries to get it right.

Depending on the size of the wood.  You can turn the wood 90 degrees and run it through vertical.  If it's a giant piece it will probably be too hard to manage that way though.
