With the the exception of Plinkers Rivet Jig, most of the other jigs can be fabricated relatively easily. The raw materials can be found at the local scrap yards for cheap and the rest is your time. Of course, you have to ask yourself how much is your time worth. Even though I could, I wouldnt even attempt to make Plinkers rivet jig because his finished product, which I own, is of excellent quality and invloves a great deal of work to produce. Its well worth the money. I did however make my own versions of the other jigs and have used them very successfully. But bear in mind I have excellent mechanical ability and more advanced tools than most people have laying around.
Overall I think we are very lucky that these people think up and produce these handy little tools at obviously slim, if any, profit margins.
