Not that specifically, but I've made a whole bunch of little bitty player 
part replacements through the years with quick and disposable table saw 
jigs. The principals are the same, as are the risks. The basic choice seems 
to be whether you spend a whole lot more time than you want to in designing 
and building a safe OSHA approved type jig, or make a quick and dirty that 
leaves you working much closer to the blade than you would ideally prefer. 
The latter certainly keeps your attention from wandering from a false sense 
of security.
