Death Of A Thousand Cuts

Well 2208 actually.
Glass going in
 I'm starting to fit the double glazed units, all 276 of them.
Each piece of glass needs 4 beads (that's 1104 in total) and each bead needs at least 2 cuts (assuming I get it right first time) making 2208 cuts. That means quite a bit of time spent at the saw with a very simple jig!
A simple jig
 I measured all the glass as well so if it's wrong it's on my head. There's 14 different sizes and so far everything fits perfectly.
A lot of beads cut ready
It is a little repetitive though, one set of windows needed two lots of 112 beads at the same size - not something you want to be cutting again! Anyone else done a repetitive jobs lately?
