Jig It!

The goal of this course is to familiarize the student with the process of customizing ones' tools to increase accuracy, safety, efficiency and functionality.

We will be building a number of different jigs together, as well as using some that are already made, one of which each student can take home. The process of problem solving will be emphasized, with countless other tips and techniques which will give you the skills and confidence to tackle more difficult projects on your own.

Topics covered will include:
• The different types of jigs and fixtures –what is the difference? What do they do? – the 4 essential functions
