Nice!

Yes, I've come to learn that any operation thet gets my heart pumping
is a sign to find a better method.


Ya know, it's funny ... I see these aluminum jigs for sale all over the
place and have never heard of anyone having any trouble with them (nor
actually, have I), so it might just be me. There was nothing wrong with
whatever it is that passed for courage when the bullets were flying, but
whatever it is escapes me when it comes to putting body parts
unnecessarily/foolishly at risk, and I've tried every way in the world to
use an aluminum taper jig in what felt to me like a safe manner - have even
been known to do a couple of legs one day, before screwing up enough courage
to finish the last two the next - but it _always_ felt like I was taking a
chance with that damn thing.

.... and at that usual work rate I figured it might take me a week to do
those 12 legs.

This is _much_ better.
