If you end up having to make a nut, I have a great cost saving tip. When making one, you require nut files, they are crazy expansive. You can buy a set of orifice cleaning files/tip cleaners and they will do the same thing for a lot less money. they come in all the sizes you need for nut slots.

I have built many guitars and do luthier work regularly and have not seen a need to buy actual nut files yet.

If you are really strapped for cash, buy a "torch tip tool"

A bunch of little round files that just happen to mimic standard guitar string diameters, and will do quite well. I use one for all my cigar-box guitar builds on bone nuts.

helping hands wont work .. needs a very solid grip on the nut
I don't use the stewmac vice but I do use a vice mounted to my work bench with a couple of strips of wood not to damage the nut.

Nut files: If you are going to do this a lot or for a long time it is worth it to invest in good files (stewmac or luthiers mercantile). If you want to go on the cheap at first most hobby shops have exacto saw blades the right gauge for the high e/b and you can use a set of blowtorch tip cleaners. http://www.amazon.com/US-Forge-Welding-Cleaner-00802/dp/B000UVR0NO/ref=sr_1_1?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1375875973&sr=1-1&keywords=US+Forge+Welding+Tip+Cleaner+%2300802

This guy seems to have it down but I didn't watch it all (15min and I already know how to make a nut ) but he seemed to have all the main points down. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKO4hat7oJE
