I drew up a plan for a saddle stand that I intend to make a number of times (with three orders at present and, hopefully, more to come!)

Because the two end formers are cut to shape and have both 30 degree and 60 degree facets, I needed a simple, repetitive sawing guide. This is it, although I seem to have managed to mix up the order of my photographs…
Please forgive me when I give no specific measurements because each one of us has a different saw bench and will need to measure to suit individual requirements.
My guide is made from a base of 10mm medium density fibreboard (MDF) with a 300mm strip of 9mm x 9mm Tasmanian Oak (a fine grained hardwood) glued and screwed beneath it as a runner. This acts as a slide and guide in the slots of my table saw.
The face side of my guide is marked with 30 degree and 60 degree lines, although they aren’t essential.
I made a simple bracket of 42
