Thanks Frank S! We've added your Setup Jig to our Metalworking category,
as well as to your builder page: Frank S's Homemade Tools. Your receipt:

Machining, welding, prototyping, even photography; a proper set-up is all about stability first, and repeatability is unquestionably next.
Frank S's rig is classic example.
X-Y tooling can be complicated dimensionally, but Z is where things get interesting. It is all about using the same datum for as long it is possible.

Strikes me this morning, that datum phrase could better express the idea this way; It's all about preserving the datum for as long it is possible.
I'm finishing a long awaited run of parts for myself later today. It will exhibit that concept, including mating parts that one uses the other to index accordingly. Utilizing all three Cartesian axes.

I don't know what ever happened to my old tapered framing square since I haven't seen it in many years. I used to have a square that was forged out of Bethlehem steel the back or spine was almost 5/16" thick while the inside was about 1/8" on it was the usual inscribing's for Hip, Val, riser, deg. of slope, and circle segment info on 1 side the other had rafter bracing cut angles and lengths per roof pitch angle. It was the busiest square I had ever seen with regards to the info on it.
I don't have any idea where I got it probably in some auction and I suspect some sticky fingered worker relieved it from my kit
Never try to tell me it can't be done
When I have to paint I use KBS products
