Not actually answering your question Bucky ol' mate, but for a fuz jig you can't go past the old RCM design from waaay back!  I made a couple from two laminations of 3/4" ply x 14" x 48" glued together.  This is faced with A2 size cutting mats to give grid lines for alignment.  Mats cheap at The Reject Shop at $7 ea.  The sliding blocks are from masonite and strip pine.  Clamp screws from threaded rod.

If you like I can email the drawings for it.

Hi Mark.  The fuz on the bench is a 40 size sport pattern model by Pilot from back in the 70s. It was near completion when my shed met it's fate.    Luckily the only damage to it was a hole in the leading edge and one cracked rib.  After 5 months I'm just starting to find where things are to start repairing things.

FWIW, I have a set of CLC fuselage angles...not worth having, IMO. They're pretty much just wooden shelf support brackets from the DIY Centre. No instructions, no suggestions as to whether they're supposed to be screwed to a wooden base plate or glued to a glass plate or what. If it wasn't silly expensive to mail them, I would. How about a picture? Maybe I didn't pitch them in the yard waste bin, but then again, maybe I did.  Steve

This is a link to the site with a pic of them Steve.  Just bits of alloy strip with a slot milled in them by the look of it.

the wing ones are similar, except they have another slot milled in them on the upright for sliding blocks to capture the leading edge,,
