This website has been around since May, 2001. It is now filled with information, books, jigs
and tips for crafters and woodworkers. Since I have spent most of my time building jigs, this
website is short on the glitz and glamour, but what's important is... you will find some great stuff.

"Quantity is Job Fun"

Lets shake out some RAW Intelligence......Industry is not at it's best when too many wonder who will continue to get the credit, and too few wonder who will continue to solve some of the problems.

Sure, quality is the goal in manufacturing, but over the years, certain actions throughout industry often resulted in complacency in reaching or approaching every new goal of quality. In order to achieve or to pursue "high quantity," abundance or high volume, or to just compete, it required intense training and intense investment in learning and skill building. Any significant gains require sharing raw information, even sharing some of our own closely held skills and demonstrating the finer aspects of any trade. Otherwise there is little gain, and only more struggle. For people to exceed in their field, they need every advantage possible to equalize their position, to help them inherit the most and to outlast the toughest situations. For these tough situations we need confidence, and experience.

"We never have enough time, or learn early enough to know things when we have to."

Truman said; "It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who takes the credit." Industry is not at it's best when too many wonder who will continue to get the credit, and too few wonder who will continue to solve some of the problems. Every expert, and I don't mean that in a joking manner, but a respectful one; every expert and concerned employee wanted domestic industry to know about quality, to work around and to feel quality. But, high "quantity," high volume goods where growth and gains and profit occurred, sometimes meant barely useable, and sometimes almost unacceptable products.

We need a fluid exchange, a dialog of raw technical knowhow.

Some are convinced that "Hand Made" must always
be better than products made in high volume.

"Just because something is mass produced does not mean it will result in low quality, or quick profits. High scale, high volume manufacturing is not the cause of a faulty method, or an inconsistent process. Quality is results from integrity built into the design and properly monitored, not a result of being mass produced. Just look at Pratt & Whitney, GE jet engines, Mack Trucks, Cummins engines, Rolex, Bose, and some high end automobiles bearing intensely good quality, and built-in lasting performance.

Quality is in the design and material selection as much as it is in the control of the process. "Quantity" and high volume has little to do with defects as long as the process is working. It also helps when the system is continually error-proofed, and the employee can see the potential security through better gains and further growth.

We might soon be on the verge, a new blast of manufacturing in a whole new technological economy, but if we a concerned about who takes the credit all the time, we won't share any of the skills to keep up with the demand for continuous refinement and improvement all over again. Our minds are not a steel trap, and again, we never have enough time, or learn early enough to know things when we have to know them, either through schooling, or by sharing vital skills and tacit techniques.

The jigs I build include the information, the books and manuals included that are necessary to know what it takes to produce more, beginning with the average woodworker. Jigs and gauging methods can be practiced on the average machines sitting idle in the shed. That's what we don't always want to see; idle machines. Read "Jigs and Gauging for Beginners, or "The Fifty Giants of Industry."

The box joint manual fills a need for often-obscure
techniques,,, and even some rare advice.

I have sold my jigs and books to various teachers, students and professionals. I have
built jigs for schools, crafters, even Doctors, business owners and many others. Many people
download my books because they like to avoid problems as well as discover many tips, hints, shortcuts,
and tricks to avoid mistakes and wasting time. Woodworkers enjoy the information about jigs and box joints.
For too many, owning a shop full of machines is a short lived hobby, like owning a mine, covering the
entrance and never knowing its full potential...

"Why didn't I figure this out!"
This is often the reaction of the woodworker when he discovers some secrets
of jig-making and how they transform the way we looks at machines.

Do you want to learn some tricks, some tips, shortcuts and techniques that the professionals
know in order to make more money from a wood shop? Did you ever suspect the art of gauge
building or jig making being at the root of industry? While the rest are out trying to speculate,
searching for investments, learning boring tips about funds, stocks and bonds, you can find out
about making things in volume, known by too few for too long.

Did you know that when industrialists discovered the use of jigs and fixtures, they were
truly on the "eve of automation." Why do people need to know about jigs and gauges?

Why would we need this knowledge? Because its obvious, very few know
enough about it. Others still make things using ancient methods...by hand to eye accuracy. Its old stuff,
but few people are familiar with anything more advanced.   I know this because I have seen how some shops
lack volume techniques; doing only custom, one at a time, tedious artwork.   We need to make things in
volume, mass produce; and to mechanize a process; this is the solution. In order to prosper, industry has
to continuously aspire to become more and more efficient, and it has been so since the beginning
of the Industrial Revolution. Why? Because of a few things.

When productivity falls, everything else seems to go up. Competition,
taxes and rent, inflation, and now health care to name a few. As these continue to climb, more jobs are
lost. Manufacturing companies hate to lose jobs, but the fact is, there is always a risk. Did you ever study
economics extensively? Professional economists explained long ago what is required for a nation to prosper
economically. They gauge a country's wealth buy what it produces, not by how much precious metals it
owns, or how much land it possesses. Land actually can drop in value, especially when a country doesn't
produce anything! We need an ever-continuous source of new people to venture forward and produce
new products, learn and understand high production techniques, and be
more economical to fight rising costs.

Waste is "action without information" Rust is a shop filled with "idle capital."

That is where my books and jigs come in. Across the country there are
thousands of woodworkers. Some shops lay idle almost year around, while they could be productive.
There is an enormous (monumental) amount of what is called "idle capital" where woodworking tools
are actually rusting because few know how to make things, especially mass producing things.
These idle tools can be implemented to make spare money, or with some real ambition,
starting a possible furniture manufacturing venture.

Trying to gather facts among thousands of articles and billions of bits of info is like
skipping a rock across the water. You touch some of the peaks while you really need to
make important connections.

Many have told me that they needed my advice and my tips to finally make some progress.
Apparently the production advice and books they have read doesn't have the clarity, or connections
to do the job. For example, my one E-book, The 50 Giants of Industry is all about leading its reader to
valuable insight into the lives of fifty great Masters in the history of industry. It's like a fly on the wall
for those wanting to know where they attended school, who did they parallel, imitate, and where
did they draw their influence. The e-book is not just scrambled theories
and irrelevant busy work, but suitable and comprehensive stuff.

Lose all our knowledge and then relearn it all in a crisis?

Don't be surprised, but some will say that claiming to have a solution to the economy is somehow
wrong. That's why I have loads of free information too, and I have given away thousands of free hardwood
directory's, free downloads, and even mailed out free videos to the unemployed. My website is filled
with great comments too. I come from the rust belt and manufacturing has plummeted and about the only
secure jobs is in non-manufacturing. Taxes are rising, and many have even depleted there government
benefits by now. What is needed is not another complicated, highly technical book that stretches on and
on, but instant relevant insight....

So, Is your shop a sleeping manufacturing giant? Or is your school still
carving wooden trinkets? Do they have a jigmaker?

Jigs, even most gauges are very inexpensive,
even less than most tools. Want to mass-produce furniture, crafts, your new ideas? Are
you a teacher, or do you know of a technical school that can benefit from a wealth of new information?
Want to see production improve? With great information and the right
connections, it can. Start in a few seconds by reading the following e-book....

Woodjig.com provides the information and devices necessary for small woodshops to possibly grow into productive
enterprises. We have sold our devices to many small shop owners who have not had the experience or the means to duplicate or make
things in volume. The methods, products, and techniques available to woodworkers at Woodjig, are a giant leap in the direction of "volume
manufacturing, CNC and even job creation." The MASCUT 1.0 is a markable "gauge controlled " wood jig that is a genuine break
away from anything available to ambitious, forward thinking "small industrialists". Currently, there is no other known book, school,
club or video that can reveal a similar devise or technique. It is offered after one woodworking enthusiast spent many unproductive years seeking out the obscure and elusive techniques and time savings skills required to using his machines (table saw) to their full potential.
