6. Here are my 1” and 2” jigs that are used for making
large doors or very large windows.
1/2”, I have constructed jigs with multiple pieces of these vari-
ous sizes. I have a jig with 3/4”, 1”, and 2” brass pieces. These
are used to make such things as freight doors for depots.
As you can see, I also have made jigs with multiple-width
pieces; these allow me to combine various width pieces of
brass to vary the size of the opening I am building my door or
window in.
I use the multiple same-width jigs the most, because my struc-
tures usually require many windows and/or doors. For exam-
ple, my interlocking tower required 22 windows and two doors.
I make all of them before I start construction of the structure.
Using styrene structural shapes, each door or window costs
about 15 cents.
