Thanks, Ethan! Great questions, Cervantes. I use my bandsaw to cut the mosaic tiles. I use a piece of wood as a kind of throat plate, to minimize splintering. This is a picture from my old blog which shows this: https://andyculpepperguitars.files.wordpress.com/2013/03/img_2920.jpg My gluing jig works very similarly to the one in your link. I put the large wedge on top of the plate being joined, wrap the rope around it end to end and then drive in the smaller wedge to tighten. The notches are there mostly to stay clear of any back strip, if it happens to be thicker than the back being joined. The scarf joint is cut on a bandsaw, using a angled jig that I run along the fence. Then I plane it in the traditional manner, and use a flat wood sanding block to get it perfectly true. I wish I had pictures of every step in the process, but that would be a LOT of pictures [:)] and sometimes I forget. The shooting board has no angle.
