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."

Do a search on this web site and you will find a post or two about it.

Looks like eBay is the best spot to get it from.

Hartville Tool, WoodCraft and other ww stores also have the material in different forms.

Wink White Polyethelene Blocks

I have purchased it from these folks. It is not cheap, but not all that unreasonable, either.

Thanks Bob

Looks like that's it,,,
Neat fish cutting boards ,one is 29" long I don't recall chatching a fish that big for a long time or every, with my luck it would hold the 4 or 5, I caught total in one day. hahahahahaha
I guess I will need to order some blank stock to make a cutting board or two,I forgot this stuff is great for cutting boards unlike the wooden ones and it mills just like wood on my router table and plunge router..thanks for putting the bug in my ear,but I do like to made cutting boards because they are so quick and easy and the whole family can get in on it.

The Cutting Board Factory not only has neat cutting boards, but they are also a source for large sheets of material from 1/8" up to 1 1/4". Some of it also comes in different colors. I use different colors to make jig bases and then use the white to make the actual "shaped" jig so I can replace it if I mess it up. I have also found that it is good to use as guides for my table saw. The wood slides easily across it or when butted up against it.

Boo Hoo! It's ok for you guys over the pond there but here in the UK it is as rare as rocking horse manure. It seems the only pieces we can get over here are very thin slim sections and that is grossly expensive!
