Hi, I'm Brian, and I designed the Fret Slotting Jig that Dan is linking to. (Well done on your jig too by the way, it looks great.) I consolidated my woodworking and guitar making websites into one, so the link that is posted above will no longer work. Here is the good link: http://westfarthingwoodworks.com/fret-slotting-jig/
I love my fret slotting jig, and still use the very same one to this day. It's a super cheap build, and cigar box guitar makers can save a ton of money over a store bought slotting system by just making my jig themselves. The article explains it well enough for people to follow along, but if you have any questions I am happy to help.
I'm also kicking around the idea of making a cigar box guitar some time soon, so I may be coming in with a few questions of my own. Thank you all and happy building.
