I have only done a few self knocks but the ones I did were a bit tough to get a good cut on the knock. I can see where this would really help! Thanks again

Bub, thanks for sharing that photo. I just made a jig like this and it worked perfectly for slotting the horn insert and then the nock cut. I couldn't be happier and it only took about 15 minutes to make it out of a nice piece of hardwood that I had sitting around.
