I haven't seen one thread were we all could post some pictures of the jigs or tools we have made or use in penturning. I think it may be helpful to some of the newbies out there. Let's see what you've got...even if it's something small and simple, someone may have not thought of it.

There are a lot of great posts in the forums.

It might be nice to have a photo album dedicated to shop jigs and fixtures. That way one could scan the photos for ideas.

That was kind of the point of this post!

If you were a newbie would you know what to search for? What terms to pull up a jig? One post full of pictures and a small description would be very helpful.

I'm not a newbie and I don't know how to search for some things. Some people call jigs by different names than I would.

I placed the idea in the suggestion box and linked this thread.

I think its a good idea.:biggrin:

We have all said to ourselves "I don't know what I'm lookng for, but I'll know it when I see it":confused:
 
I just sent Jeff a note requesting a "Tools and Jigs" photo album be created.

For those not familiar with the photo albums and how to add to or edit photos, here is are some screen shots put together to show how easy it is.

I actually put this image in the "Shop Shots" album just so everyone can see how it all works in case they are unfamiliar with the process.

Edit: Tim, I didn't see where you had put the idea in the suggestion box until after I posted this, Oh well, now Jeff will see it twice! :biggrin:

The only thing that concerns me is that will there be no explanations with photos only. I would rather there be one thread similar to the "how do you look" thread.

Rob, not so. If you visit the "Shop Shots" album you will see where I just added the image from my post above.

Directly below the photo is a description added by the original poster.

Below that is an area where comments can be made and discussion can be held.

What do you think?
 
Jeff just created the new photo album, so now it's up to us to populate and use the album.

Time will tell if it's a winner or not and that is up to us and how we take advantage of it.
 
Justin and George make a pretty good team! Within the last two weeks Justin has come up with ideas that George has put into action. Thanks guys!

Hey Justin, what are your thoughts on global warming, health care and the national debt?
