Bridge Jig

For the simple Martin soprano style bridge..I use Three jigs.. just for basic machining of "string anchor holes, string slots, and saddle slot".
 
I made these all at once. I ripped the slot in the edge of a mahogany board. Then I ripped the edge of the board off in a strip, so I had a few feet of bridge. My fingers were far from the saw blade at all times. I used hand tools to cut them apart and shape them. This might be a lifetime supply. More likely a four year supply.
