Other than getting the angle of the wedge to correspond to the slot formed in the guitar, this is easy and a fun step. All hand tools: a fine toothed hand saw and a chisel to make the slot, a file to made the edges sharp, and a block plane to angle the wedge. The purfling is 0.060" bwb. Next the ledge for the binding/purflings. Maybe the most scary of all of the operations. Using a powerful router on such delicate plates is nerve wracking and if the router grabs or skates - all is lost! But I have a new tool that should make this procedure routine.
