| You can always go out and buy a solution to any problem and cutting precise angles whether you are working with sheet stock or strip woods can become one of those problems that can set you back half the price of a good kit to solve. Remember thatUncle Remus “saw”, “It is what you do with what you got that pays off in the end.
A jig is any of several classes of tools used for woodworking, metalworking or plastic modeling and other crafts. The main purpose of a jig iscontrolling location, motion or both for a tool and/or work piece. Some jigs are referred to as templates or guides. Many jigs provide the user with a simple method of duplicating parts and how they are manipulated. I marvel at the minds of some modelers who come up with a jig for almost any purpose. They surehave made my modeling efforts easier over the past 20-30 years. Many times I have found a jig designed for a particular purpose to be adaptable to otherfunctions completely unrelated.

Hopefully, this will become a repository for jigs particularly useful to modelers. The object is to collect as many as possible in a format that includes a photograph or two, adescription/purpose and directions on how to build it. You can help me with this effort by emailing me with this info at:
