I wasn't suggesting that building a jig was a waste of time, just that
in some cases, for me anyway, building some jigs doesn't give me any
enjoyment. If you're getting enjoyment from the project you're buiding
*and* any jigs you build for that project then I'm all for that.

And there is the case where there are times that there is no tool and a jig
is necessary. The face frames that Swingman and I build have dado's and
groves to accept the cabinet panels. Every face frame has incomplete dados
where they intersect. I came up with a jig for completing those dados
quickly and accurately.
