I drew this years back to show how to make them offset base plates which IMO are the best style. If it were me and you find pictures of a jig, I'd modify it to be offset personally. Hope that helps a little.

Yes, it's flat stock on the top and a round bar on the bottom. You can try various sizes and styles before you weld up your jig solid. I used a vice for mine but I only made a few. I actually used angle iron so it stayed on the vice better.
