First cutting blocks and form blocks

I cut my first form blocks and cutting blocks from some scrap plywood. I borrowed an 18v cordless jigsaw and cut them last night (in my room- I'm sure my room mate loved that, but I swept all the sawdust). Then over lunch today I took the rough cut parts to a tent that has a disc sander and finished them up. I'll have to duplicate them with a flush trim router bit when I get home, but that is easy enough. I may even rough cut their mates here so I can flush trim them when I have access to my own router (none here that I have found).

Not yet- just the first set. I've got the second set outlined on some plywood and will rough cut this weekend. I won't finish them just yet- I prefer to finish the copy with a router and flush trim bit (which I don't currently have access to). I've got the tools I need at home, so if it is rough cut and bolted together then I'll just run the flush trim around it and it will be ready.
