Here it is.

My kind of jig! ;-)
The essential feature is the plywood 'support table' under the strip(s). The wide slot in most chop saws is dangerous for this kind of cut if the work isn't well supported.
The thing I don't like about chop saws is their ability to fling small cutoffs - I usually have a 'sacrificial' fence attached but it doesn't stop all the excitement....
