Three Hole Drilling Jig

A man after my own heart, why buy it, if you can build it :). Good thinking!!

I like to use a larger hole but can not find a punch bigegr that 1/4”. This will do it. What type of drill bit do you use?

That’s pretty clever !!....thanks for sharing

-- Measure "at least" twice and cut once

I use a 1/4” bit but you could go bigger if you wish … just increase the fluted dowel size too. A brad point bit works best but keep the guide board pressed or clamped tightly against the magazine.

I would think a Forstner bit would give a nice, smooth cut.

bet that works much better than a hole punch

that is a good idea. i usually take projects, tips, plans, out of magazines and store them in binders for easy reference. my wife thinks i’m crazy, not cause of that.. she just thinks i’m crazy
