❈ Complete Illustrated Guide to Jigs & Fixtures

This book covers jigs and fixtures, a subject of perennial interest to woodworkers. Jigs are like clamps. As the saying goes, "You can never have enough of them."

Woodworkers love jigs and fixtures for the same reason they are drawn to woodworking. Designing them is about figuring out how to do something.
