>I've got a few I use, and I've gotten rid of a few. OK their in the back of a drawer somewhere, HAPPY???

The only jigs I really use are, a dovetail marking jig and blade sharpening jigs.
the later jigs I'm trying to wean myself off, but I still use it when I want a really fine edge.

To move this thread one step further, I see way too many people who think if it's expensive it will really help me be a better WW'r. You see it all the time, someone asks 'What Backsaw for DTs' and everone jumps on LN. The question comes from a noivce, but we're sending him off for an LN instead of an older Disston with a good sharpening. LN planes instead of a Bailey, WWII TS blades over Systi Matics at half the price.

I have way too many interests in life, one of my downfalls, to spend a lot of money on anything I wouldn't use a lot. My 40+ planes cost less then 2 LN #5s. The way I see it those planes made better pieces then I most likely ever will, but with my jig and SS I might be able to make a better edge. And after this Fall's trip to Central Europe and seeing the WW'n from 3-400 years ago, I'm even more convinced that I have good enough tools and need to just work on technque. Note here: don't Cornfuse good enough with Enough tools. A Fell'a can alway use another tool especially if it's free.

Shiney Tools are nice but working more wood may be a better answer.
