A Guide to Making a Jig

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for creating simple jigs to cut and assemble a scale-model picket fence using card and styrene sheet. It explains how to build both a cutting jig for shaping individual pickets and a gluing jig for aligning and attaching pickets to rails with accuracy and consistency. The document covers safe cutting techniques, precise measurement methods, and recommended materials, enabling modelmakers to produce uniform fence components efficiently and reliably.
