I'm in. I'd love to see a review and a demo cut. I've read, and think I know, jam peg and how it works. However, I'd love to see a review, demo and 'how-to' to really get the full scoop. The web pages on jam peg cutting seem to conflict each other more often than not

For those interested it is usually easy to adapt these Jamb Peg masts to fit on your Ultratec or Facetron machines.
As you can see in Justin's video the design of the Jamb Peg mast and the slot it fits into the base is the same as either Ultratec or Facetron bases. Some work straight out of the box because the bolt at the base fits the slot in your faceting base. If it doesn't fit you can use your stock attachment bolt, but will usually have to use a thread insert to make the Ultratec or Facetron bolt fit the Jamb Peg mast's thread. You can then just swap out at will. I have done this with my own Indian style Jamb Peg mast for my use.
Cutting with Jamb Peg is fun and fast once you learn it. It makes some cuts like the Portuguese style patterns much easier to make all the diamond shaped facets the same size. In our local faceting class one of the students has designed and produced a Jamb Peg mast for the class. It sort of mixes the Indian style with the German style. See the picture below.
