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."

By all means count me in. However, the cost would be a barrier. While I work full time, I have medical expenses related to being wheelchiar-bound, my wife has significant medical needs and I have two sons who will be entering college within the next three years.

I'm all for this. Again, cost could be an issue, depending on what it is but a very good initiative on all counts.

Well it looks like we are starting to flush out the content of this membership website.

It's going to be about the art of making router jigs. It will have video lessons for each of the jig construction techniques, a self Quiz section, and an optional assignment related to the building of jigs and fixtures. Maybe excerpts from the Router Workshop showing the jig in action then add the play by play how to video like the sample.

Next question is how do we accommodate the ones that can't afford paying. We need a specific number of paid members to make this feasible. It's going to need some way to collect money.

How about a affiliate program? This program tracks and pays a commission on everyone that joins because of the affiliate member. So if someone follows your link to the signup form you get credit. X number sign up's and your free or making money. And we get more members and the affiliate member gets paid.

Did you figure out how many jigs per month you will have on the site when it is up. I think you should make it a low cost monthly or three or six month payment plan. Once when you have a general idea of how many people want to sign up and go by that percentage of how much to charge. I for one is on a limited income being on disability and all and I don't want other members to have to carry my load just wouldn't be right. Either I can afford it or can't I will have to see. This is just my opinion so I hope I'm not upsetting you guys because this is a great concept and I would love to have the opportunity to learn more if wasn't for you Bob and Rick seeing your program when it was on my PBS station I would have been more blind on using a router then I am now you two really helped me out with the proper and safe usage of using my routers all around usage I might add free hand and table usage. And I for one say thank you for your knowledge on this tool.

I guess I'm in the majority about the cost thing, but would definetly want to be in on the ground floor of this. I may be up in years, but just a baby when it comes to this stuff, and can't get enough of it. Looking to see how it develops, but count me in.

I agree with Mike. This would help out newer pepole like me you do not know all the fine details of makeing patterens using offsets and different guide bushings. I there was a good dvd on this I would be willing to buy it.

I believe we are all on a "fixed" budget per say. What about a program that gives say, three or four different payment options? Something like a "Gold, silver, bronze" type of thing? Just a thought.
