does anyone have a set of jigs to fabricate the wishbones for the tiger?

if so what are they made from, wood or metal?

i need a few pointers

thanks

The book shows jigs made of metal.
Wooden ones wouldnt do,i think

the locost book mentions both wood and metal jigs so either should be appropriate.

Punker, I think a lot of people on here have used metal.

Personally I dont see any reason not to use wood if you are good with it. However making a jig out of metal is good practise for making the actual wishbones themselves.

If you are new to all this as i am- the more practise the better!

ps- a metal jig is probably a bit more durable and easier to 'modify' if things go slightly wrong- oops!
