However, there is no reason one can't manage efficiently using one machine.
 
First, pick out the best sample of each part you want to copy.  Paint them
a bright, unmistakable color so you won't accidentally put them in a frame.
Then, figure out how many frames you need to make over the winter.
Reconcile yourself to making the same cut over and over and over again.
Do make jigs; do install stops; just don't change a setup until all the
pieces you need for the year have been made.  Paint the jigs a different
unmistakeable color and mark clearly what they're for.
 
In the end, you'll find that the setup time, amortized over the pieces you
make, is reasonable and not much more than the transport time in a
commercial shop.
 
One other thing: be sure you have cartons to store the pieces which are in
progress.  Nothing slows the whole process down like having to sort a pile
of mixed pieces.
 
Light up the wood stove and enjoy the smell of pine and smoke.
