an easy way to center those pesky side marker dots..
I use a hinge slotter , mine is an old one from my model airplane making days , dubro still makes these and they are available from hobby shops and on line at places like Tower Hobbies, I just drilled a 1/16 inch hole in the slot and use a hand drill to start the holes ... pizza

That is a good idea. You are right, they are a PITA to center

Nice!
I install mine after the fretboard is radiused and fretted so I can center them exactly though. I mark the spot with an ice-pick I sharpened to a needle point so the bit doesn't wander.

Another cool Todd Stock jig. Thanks Todd! :) I use a piece of angle like the one in your jig but clamp it into my parrot vise. I think I'll mount that angle in a jig like yours now. I love building new jigs, it's therapeutic! For me at least. ;)
