Thank you.
The idea of the jig is from my great mentor, Sergei de Jonge.
It's very simple and works perfect.

While French polishing the body and the neck, I made the bridge.


The Snakewood blank.




Routed the saddle slot, drilled the bridge pin holes, and roughly arched.




Finishing the arch by scrapers.




Chamfering the bridge pin holes.




Beveling the wing.




Done.
