I want to make some fixtures out of plexiglass, but was wondering are there any plans out there for various jigs like the bridge saddle slot routing jig that Stewmac sells (which allows you to route saddle slots on the guitar)?

I made one similar by copying it from the illustration and using their free instruction sheet for it. http://www.stewmac.com/freeinfo/Jigs/i-4043.html
Good Luck [:Y:]

Yes, but the reason I'd like to use plexiglass is so I can see through them and be able to see what I am doing.
