Simple and Effective Jigs You've Never Seen Before
Building effective jigs requires the right mindset, the right materials and the right plan. Kerry Pierce's new book gives you all three as he shows you how to construct the 16 most effective jigs he uses in his shop every day to build world-class cabinetry, chairs and bent-wood boxes.

Using only simple tools and common hardware, Pierce has constructed jigs that you won't find the plans for anywhere else. And once you get a look at these simple, beautifully drawn and photographed jigs, you'll see why they deserve a place in your shop (even if you've built seemingly similar jigs in the past).

The difference is that Pierce - as he always does - has drilled deeply into the fundamentals needed to build these jigs. Using clear step-by-step photography, Pierce shows you exactly how he goes about constructing each jig so you'll be ready to build your own from the outset - even if you've never built a single jig or fixture before.

In addition to the photos and the text, each jig includes a beautiful handmade construction drawing of the project. These hand-shaded and hand-lettered drawings are both a rarity in today's computer-rendered world and are clear evidence of the care that went into every detail of this book. And if that's not enough to make you sit up and pay attention, how about this: Only one of the jigs in this book has more than 10 parts!

Here's just a small sample of the jigs you'll build with this book:
