From whence I came -the 1970s- contraptions like JH stands and the likes were called ‘jigs’ in the few modelling magazines that counted: Scale Models, Airfix Magazine and Scale Aircraft Modelling. Of course the times have changed. Nowadays we have Wikipedia. Edited April 16, 2021 by quang Syntax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woody V Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Jig: noun Machinery. a plate, box, or open frame for holding work and for guiding a machine tool to the work, used especially for locating and spacing drilled holes; fixture. You can call an alligator a tomato but that doesn't make it a tomato. Out2gtcha 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Out2gtcha Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 I guess it's all about where you came from. For me personally, it's not really semantics, as the two are separate and distinctly different things with two different purposes. It's a case of agree to disagree here me thinks.
