RE: GEOHEX Terrain

Template versus structure holding tool and medium in position?

I've a 'table' wire cutter that holds the wire at a  fixed position, its
own 'jig'. The angle is much more precise then if I were holding the
tool in my hand, and used a template laid on the foam's surface.

Unfortunately, the arm swivels right to left, instead of back and forth
to the arm, so the width of pieces is fairly small. I'd like to bevel
large levels of hills and cliffs. I think I mentioned previously my mad
scheme of collapsible mountains.

Sorry for popping in, TomB, but I'm studiously avoiding a RL work
problem, and had to do SOMETHING else.

Tom, thanks for the informative post.

Could you explain the difference between a "jig" and a "guide"? They
could mean the same thing; they could mean an Irish dance and a movie
usher;...

When does a guide stop being a guide and become a jig?
