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."

Default Today Was One Of Those Days...

All I did today was make expensive firewood. Was making 2 little bracelet boxes with some beautiful quartersawn bubinga .... box joints on the OP jig. Scratch that. Not sure what happened but so much for those plans and that awesome bubby is trash. Oh well... just a good day at this point to stay out of the shop

Some days are like that Corey. It seems sometimes no matter what you try it's wrong.
Better luck next time.

Corey, I am guessing that only the joints went wrong? Square up the ends of your blanks and glue them up with a nicely contrasting wood into a size you can turn some ornaments or other goodies out of. It's only waste if you let it be.

Corey, my father used to say, if you make to many mistakes in the shop it general leads to an accident. So it's best to get out and do something else.
I found that to be true in some cases. Tomorrow is another day.
