Sofia J. ★★★★★

I’d been hunting for a way to make custom clamps and jigs without buying expensive store-bought ones, and the 53 projects in this book are exactly what I needed. The detailed drawings for the vices and fixtures make it easy to follow, even for a beginner machinist.

Julian X. ★★★★★

The 53 projects are laid out so clearly that I jumped straight to the jigs section and finished a custom fixture in one afternoon. The instructions on building clamps and vices are straightforward enough for a beginner like me, though I’d suggest having some scrap metal ready to practice on first.

Daniel G. ★★★★★

I was pleasantly surprised by how many jigs and fixtures are packed into this book—10 of them alone. The instructions for making them are clear enough that I could follow along with basic shop tools. It's already saved me time rigging up custom stops for my drill press.
