Hammer Boring Jigs

[Jon Page]

I use Wally's hammer boring jig. I had to reinforce the base so
that the top would not bend forwards as the drill bit started into
the wood. One could even fashion a thicker back or glue another
piece to it (hmmmmmm). But mine's done, no need to make extra
work for myself . . .

If you have the woodworking capabilities you could save a little dough,
Wally's is $99 (8/1/99 price list).
