Jim Dion treated this week's class to a mulit-media display of many of the items he has made and the jigs and fixtures that he made to enable them.  Among the items he showed on slides was a rather large dining room table and chairs. The mortise and tenon joints for the set numbered north of a hundred.  He showed several methods that he used to accomplish the tenons.  He recently took interest in making guitars.  He showed many of the jigs he made for what turns out to be a very jig intensive project.  He also shared with us pictures of his basement shop.  If there was a cubic foot of space left that didn't have at least 3 uses, it wasn't apparent.
