Anyone use the Stew Mac Acoustic neck joint routing templates? Looks like a mirror image cutout set?

Any drawing available or just wing it?

I say just wing it... dovetails aren't exactly rocket science, just a V shaped template for use with dovetail bits, angles aren't critical, have seen two guitars with different V angles and they all work fine. What counts is that the dovetail mates up and fits tightly.
