I was obsessed with jigs when I started, and wanted ALL OF THEM, as I assumed that they would stop me building rubbish frames. With the benefit of hind sight I can see now I was just shit, and fixtures just add more complexity for what should be a simple task, if you're only building one or two frames. With the isens, they make sense, 30 off frames being done by different people benefit from stages being easily repeatable, but I rarely use them for one off stuff. I built the last bike for my daughter totally fixture free, even tacking it on the surface plate, as it would have been a total pain to make it work with anything else.
