How would you make a jig to facilitate making this star?

[BadeMillsap]

I have a bee in my bonnet to make several small and larger projects that would all in one fashion or another feature a "raised Texas Star" like the one pictured below (this one being metal but it shows what I am looking for).

So ... my problem is ... since each star will have 10 pieces (5 identical pairs) I need to fashion a jig that will allow me to make these both accurately and with as little fuss as possible. Ideally I want the actual "size" of the star to be variable but making a separate jig(s) to make each size is not a problem. The problem is ... how do I construct a jig to cut the appropriate angles on my table saw? I see these things basically everywhere (in Texas) so it can't be actual rocket science but is apparently beyond my ken .... I'd appreciate any suggestions and a "drawing" or picture is worth about 20 thousand words in my case.

The math and geometry can get confusing. Here's a relief method for making one in paper, for a model. You might make one and use the dimensions for what you would need in wood.

It might be easier to configure jigs for a solid wood piece than if done with sheet goods. A sample could be done with a pine glue up.

Probably pretty simple if you are sharp with compound miters. By the way, I have seen these at craft stores made from wood.

Hi Bade,
I did this several years ago when my wife got on her stars for the mantle kick....
After trying freehand for several weeks, real men don't use jigs...
I discovered this project is impossible without a jig...Ha
Hey, some people have to learn the hard way.....
Anyway, here is a site that has my attempted to explain my jigs.
Hope it helps.

Thank you guys!

Hey guys ... thank you for the replies .... I think if I can study his jigs long enough Bob (fcpjax) has accomplished what I need to do I just have to digest his excellent write up ...
