What would I put off for as long as I could? A jig.
I would also suggest checking out Alex Meade's tooling.

Thanks Andy. I totally understand what you mean regarding the jig not being 100%, but doesn't it help simplify the process? I know it's been beat to death, but is there a particular surface table that you use/prefer? I like the Bringheli as well as the Wolverine Bronze table that Doug Fattic uses and recommends.
I've looked at the flat plate frame fixtures that Alex sells. Really cool! I've always wondered though; how does someone print out full size frame designs? Do you have to take the files somewhere specific? Are the files themselves specific?
