Jigs

• Devices that hold and move a work-piece in
  relation to a tool. Often they are designed as
  carriages that slide. Jigs act as a guide for the
  tools that cut and shape the wood, and they are
  ideal for repetitive tasks.

Fixtures

• Stationary devices that hold the wood in a set
  position in relation to a tool. Some of the more
  typical examples of fixtures are fences -- such
  as a ripping fence on the table saw.
