Jigs Make Life Better

Taking a page out of the Pat Student notebook,  I figured it would be easier to make my brass angle if I created a jig.

So I dug out the table saw, found a scrap of tight-grain Maple and cut some 45-degree slots.

The brass strip was roughed up with a sanding stick,  which also flattened and straightened the strips. I set the strips in the jig, applied a liberal amount of Flux and some short lengths of solder and quickly created four lengths of angle!

Now that is done. Next up is cutting 10 pieces to length, drilling holes and bending the pieces. All with pretty tight alignment.
