Construction jig?

Here's my "other" (see fluting and seaming) concern of the day: With the prepunched kits, do I really need the 2 x 4 jig to build the HS?

i did not build a jig for the HS or any part of the tail. the only thing i built was a holding "V" fixture, which worked well to hold the parts upright to cleco both sides at the same time. this made assembly a little easier, but i had no trouble at all building the tail without a jig.

Back on a very early post I posted a picture of my jig to be used for building my HS. I used it as an area to drill out my spar. That was pretty much all I used it for except when I used it as a very narrow table. It's just right for setting things on that you want to dump all over the floor.

lately I have been using it to store my finished HS on.

In all it really is pretty useless.

That is pretty damn funny. All right you guys, thanks for the feedback. No jig for me...

That looks precarious! Please tell me it is secured somehow...
