In this case, a "jig" is not a dance...

...unless it refers to the dance you do as you try and wrap the wire around the guide-posts.

Huh?

Let me put it this way. Do you have a bunch of scrims you want to make on your own so you don't have to pay a million dollars for store-bought ones? And you want to do it in a timely manner?

Yes.

Then you need a jig. A jig is like a template that helps you to engage in a repetitive process in an accurate, efficient manner. Observe:

Our first production run

Not bad!

So, there you have it! We're making 24 of these babies in the next few days, and it should be fairly easy... More than you ever wanted to know about making scrims!

ed. note:  Yes, this is more than we EVER wanted to know about making scrims.

UPDATED:

As promised: scrimania!

 ed. note: I thought I might add, mom made all of these for us after dad bent the wire to shape. Don't families ROCK?!?
