Hi Geordie
Norm A. of the NYWS made a jig to fit over the turning you may want to take a look at what he came up with..
It was a simple saddle jig if I recall that right..

I would also suggest using a craftsman jig to do the job you can find a used one on eBay or buy a new one just like the craftsman but it's made in CA.. and sells for about 120.oo new in the box..
It has a index lock on it that will set it just right for all the joints and no jig needed just pop on your router and cut the slots..
