This sounds to me like one of those freaking irritating know it all type of
people who feel they MUST correct everyone all the time so everyone else
will talk like they do. Their way is correct, everyone else is wrong. These
idiots really gripe my ass ya know? Its not like the creep didn't know what
you were talking about, he just had to correct you anyway. Its some sort of
compulsive thing I guess. Jig, fixture who cares? I would have known fully
well what you were speaking of if I had been the other guy, therefore no
correction from me would have been necessary at all.

Last Saturday I was at an auction and was looking at the tools which
happened
to be inside . Another person was also broswing. The owner had made a
number
of wodden jigs for his table saw ranging from a miter sled to a tennoning
jig.
Just to make conversation with the other person, I stated that the owner
and
been rather prolific and had a lot of jigs to go with the saw. The person
gave
me that knowing look and said "their fixtures - you need to be careful and
not
call fixtures jigs" Well, my response was I'm a bit of a newbie at his
(which
is true) but everything I have read and heard refers to these things as
jigs -
fixtures is a new way of naming these things"

Well, my silly question is, "Are these jigs or fixtures?"
