Obtaining a jig for handmade points

[raymurph]

I've made my first hand made point in OO using code 100 rail and it works well. I've quite a few more to make for my layout and would like to obtain a jig for filing and soldering the vee such as @Mayner posted a picture of in his thread here:

 

 

Or could I maybe make my own jig? Out of a hardwood maybe? Has anyone done this?

I just file the rail in a vice and keep comparing against the plan/drawing. Haven't found it a problem, but with plenty to do, a jig will certainly help.

Yeah that's what I've done too. I need to make about 20 more though! So I'm wondering would a jig hurry things up. Although I have about 4 different point types to make so I would need 4 different jigs so maybe I shouldn't bother going down the road of DIY jigs.

I don't think there is a jig out there for FB rail, in any code track. There are ones for bull head rail, the P4,  EMGS and S7 group them depending on scale.
