Well, after looking at the Stew Mac and LMI catalogs while sitting on the throne night after night, I decided that it would be much more cost effective to build a fret miter box myself. I got the basic ideas from Brian Howard (thanks for the advice a while back!). Here are a few step by step photos of how it went down:

Doesn't it feel good to make your own tools? Nice job, now I'll need to make a nicer looking one.....

Good Jeff, I hope it works well for you.
I just bought a plastic miter box from Lowes for $3.00 and adapted that, it also works great.
Do you have a fretboard template from LMI or Stewmac to use with that box?

I still need to grab a template. LMI has ones on close out right now. The center line is just ever so slightly off center.
