Default Jigs for scale (or just tiny) projects

I work in a number of mediums from metal and wood to clay and paints
but what ever I am doing it is always SMALL. In 1:12 scale to be
precise. I am also a stickler for accuracy and detail to achieve
realism. To this end I am looking for ANY jigs or holders etc that
would help me with making (and reproducing) small items. I can
totally take a jig from woodworking and adapt it to the items I make
in metal so that's not an issue...no need to point to wood magazine
jigs as I have collected a variety of those types already.

In particular I am trying to modify all my tools whether full size or
mini, to adapt to my Byrnes Miniaturists Table saw mitre table
attachment, for accuracy. right now I'm trying to figure out how to
attach it to my delta disc and mini band sander (on the disc side)
effectively...Ive removed the disc housing since I made a set of
removable discs in a variety of grits so I can quickly swap them out
rather than peel off paper that is only partially used up! If anyone
is interested in those mods to use for your full sized items or as a
sharpening system..I'm willing to share!

Thanks for any replies and for the new add to this group.

sincerely,
Jackie
