I looked at this design originally and decided to make my own for two reasons. the one in the link was plywood. this I could have easily built out of MDF instead which is a superior product to use for jigs as it has a perfect surface and is more rigid and structurally stable than plywood.

also the design of that one was that you needed to build two of them. one for the larger pipe and one for the smaller pipe and I didn't want two jigs taking up space when one could do it.

if you already have made one I would suggest going out and getting a chunk of MDF to use as the backing plate to give your tube a truer surface to run on. you will notice it in your cuts.
