Wally's hammer boring jig costs $99.

If that is too much, don't look at the price of new hammers  :-)

I've been using this jig for many years. As I posted before, beef up the
back support and you're on your way.

How much time do you figure you can spend making a few proto-types
before getting it right?

Buy Wally's,
