I might be able to help you with the jig making thing, there are a ton of people on here who are a lot more skilled and knowledgeable than I am that would be willing to help you too.
Here are a few i have done up, just started about 3 weeks ago:

hey those are exactly what i want to make, not to hard but something that is fun to do and save money, its ridiculous if you want to buy some, i was looking at mills and ther 2-4 dollars a piece for 2. thats why i just wanted to try my own thing and see if they would work. Thanks! have you thought about selling some of them you make?

PS: this is in no way shape or form an attempt at selling a product

I have been ready since Thanksgiving but, if there's no ice might as well make good use of the time/weather and make a few improvements to the equipment! >:( :(
