Creating Toggle Clamp Jigs
Design and build a toggle clamp jig for pattern shaping.
This class focuses on designing, building, and using jigs that include toggle clamps to secure wood for shaping with a router, such as making curved or tapered legs for furniture. You'll build your own jig from scratch and use it to create a sample project.
Toggle clamps also are useful in a wide range of other jig applications to hold work pieces consistently and securely. You'll learn tips for creating safe and durable jigs for some of these other situations, as well.
