Anyone out there made a homemade drill guide for your 1/2 inch electric drill? My other pair of eyes (my son) who helps me keep by bit straight when drilling my peg holes will be leaving for college soon, and I just can't fathom paying $300+ bucks for a drill guide. Any ideas, other than asking my wife to help?
How about a block of wood with a true ½" hole square to one face, that can be clamped to the timber you want to drill? Make the original hole on a drill press, or before your son leaves. :)
