I have never seen anyone else either.  I developed my own routine 
through practice.

Most mounting supplies available today have been around since 1990.
What is important is to understand the philosophy (goal) in mounting,
which I think you understand very well from the prints.  The specific
details is a matter of applying the basic principle using the specific
mount on hand.  When I got the Spicer jig I read the instructions and
applied my understanding so in a few minutes I had a personal routine
going on.  Personal routine is the key point.  No two people use exactly
the same routine to mount in heat seal cardboard mounts (I exaggerate 
but you get the point).  Desire and practice are the keywords, IMO.
