    An assortment of jigs used by David Marks in his Northern California woodworking shop.

    Woodworkers are inherently problem solvers. Jigs are devices that act as a guide for the tools that cut and shape the wood. They are ideal for repetitive tasks. Fixtures are static devices that hold the wood in position in relation to a tool. In this non-project episode, host David Marks explores the benefits and uses of a variety of different jigs and fixtures and builds a few examples. He includes tips on using a dovetail jig, a miter jig, and custom drill press jigs. He also highlights fixtures like the cross-cut sled and finger boards, and shares tips about making woodworking safer and more precise.
