The jig swaps are starting to grow and take off again. It's good to see new and familiar tiers joining in on the fun. All of us enjoy receiving the jigs back from all over the U.S.A. and seeing the variety of what others are making. We have a great group of tiers for sure.

What we need now is to have more of you sign up to host a jig swap. Check the board for all the details. It's simple and as a bonus, you get to receive the packages one at a time. Opening the jigs and seeing all the goodies is enough on its own. Plus most of the guys add a few extra jigs or materials for the host. So be sure to sign up today!!!

How do you guys like the new format of 1 jig swap per month?
I personally like it better than the old way. Before the swaps seemed to drag on for a couple months and we still had some waiting until the last minute to tie and send their dozen or so jigs (myself included). REMEMBER: This is your jig swap board and without your participation it will lose its appeal.

Another question is, what do you think of posting your jig pictures?
I like the element of surprise seeing the jigs when I open the package. But I also value this board as a place to share and learn. Like when someone post their jigs with a new color or material. You can interact and ask, What? Where? and How? I enjoy that part of the swaps as well. Tell us what you think.....

I'm having a hard time with getting them finished in time, I have a long list of excuses but I won't go there. If I can't get them finished tonight I am going to have to drop out. I'm very new to tying so it is taking me a very long time for each jig, plus I poured and painted them from scratch. I probably should not have signed up until I at least had the jig heads made and at least painted heads, I'm using Vinyl paint so it is taking longer with priming them first and then painting. I will PM the jig miester tomorrow if I can't finish tonight. I don't want everyone waiting on me. I will be more prepared for the next one.

These jig swaps are great! This is my second time (and I just started tying a couple of months ago) so I'll get a couple more under my belt before I sign up as a host.

One per month is just right for me. First week of the month I see what kind of jig and sign up. I get my heads from RonDon so they are ready to go. I powder paint so that's quick. Then I start making 2 or 3 each night while I'm on the computer. Second week I see what the total number of tiers is and finish jigs. Then it's off to the post office and I'm done for the month!

I vote for NO pictures of your swap jig till they are received! I too like the element of surprise. In these days of instant gratification there is little left to anticipate.

Dropped my jigs in the mail today.

I like the element of surprise too. Opening that package and seeing all the different jigs is great. We have some great tiers and it's always interesting to see the jigs and the work that is put into them for the swaps. Thumbs Up
