  Very cool - I wonder if the wife would notice if I pulled the kick plate off the back door... :)

  The tail piece is a brass kick plate from a door.  No jigs for that.  Just a marker, dremel tool, and a high polish compound to make is shine!  For the bridge, I've made a template for the shape, which is then run on a router with a bearing guide.  From there, the wings are carved with a sharp chiseled and sanded down.  You've seen how the slot is cut from my jig photos...

  I really like the tail piece and bridge. I see your bridge jig photos - any building tips or helpful notes on either of those?
