Jigs and Fixtures This area will be directed towards the art of designing specific jigs and fixtures. Bob and Rick say, "if the specific operation is to make more than one piece the same size and shape then chances are you need a jig and/or fixtures."

Talking Finger joint jig

How do people do their finger joints here? I am wanting to make a start on these and I am unsure whether I want a "cheap and cheerful" jig or something that rivals building the Titanic for engineering feats. So, what does everyone use?

Thanks all
Aaron

Assuming finger and box joints are the same for this post, search for Lynn's Jig. Easy to build and very precise.

I built one out of MDF and Hardboard that is similar to B&R's. Quick and dirty.
