That was a touch of genius!

Simple is always best! Thank you.

Brilliantly simple, clear and precise. Than you so much, I must have just watched 50 videos that have over complicated this far to much.

This sure beats the guide system for dog holes that I almost purchased for $240 plus shipping and handling. But theirs did look really cool tho. The bench looks fascinating!

Agree with Jon Bratton: nice, straight-forward, simple set up. Thank you.

Great idea, thanks!🎉🎉

First, your brilliant description of the workshop perfectly captures why I have fallen hard for woodworking recently. And you have applied your mind and hands to this task very well. One idea that occurs to me: the 2x4 spacer boards are brilliant, but quite bulky and heavy. To save weight and space, I would think you could cut them down so that they fit just a couple of inches around each bar. The rearmost board could still stay full length, for stability. With a thick enough inner jaw, I don't think this should create much racking from behind. I can certainly see the educator in you. Would be interested to see more of your videos. Thank you.

Very clever and useful. Thank you!

And nothing stopping you from a 20mm/96mm system just change out the bit! Brilliant.

Nice one!

*great*

Great video Tom. How about the workbench itself? Did you make a how-to video on it?

Brilliant :)

Great job Tom. Thank you for sharing.

Great Video Tom!!! Thank you

Great Idea

Such great work from dog holes?

Of all the tutorials of how to drill accurate dog holes, yours was the most straightforward and easy to understand. I thank you for your effort in making this video as it helped me to drill my dog holes without a lot of measuring and guessing.

A simple and clever technique, like the idea

Great Idea. Thanks I will now be able to make a bench like yours

My eyes fell on the dumbbell this morning and I had the idea to use the thread and locks for a moxon vise. I think I‘m going to make something of that sort

So simple. So smart. Thank you.

Very good I really liked your video what a great idea

Brilliant Tom!

You just saved me $199 on woodpeckers hole boring jig. Thank you kindly!

Very nice, smart and simple. Thanks for sharing the idea...🙂👍🇨🇦

That’s great! What are you using? Drill press brand? Drill bit?

By far the best and simplest method on youtube. Thank You .

Just what I needed. Thanks!

This is some good stuff Mr. Tom.

Nice and easy, thanks Tom.

Nice.

Thank you for posting. I am about to drill my bench with the same way. Is there a reason yours are so close ? Is it specific if to something you’re building ? Thanks again Ben

Thanks for taking the time to upload this useful tip, Tom. Loving that workbench design there, too.

Thanks Tom, great video.

brand of drill guide?

Great tip! Thank you for this video!

A couple of people asked the name of the Indexing Jig but i have seen no answer. Where can we purchase the jig?

Brilliant!! Thanks so much for the video!!

Best idea yet except I won't markup my benchtop as I'll have the stops of your jig.

Want to emphasize that the biggest potential fail-point of this system, which you don't stress in the video, is that the line through the hole centers must be as close to perfectly parallel to the guide fence as possible. This is actually the trickiest and most critical part of the jig to get right. Easiest way to ensure this happens accurately is: 1) After drilling the holes in the jig the desired distance apart, on your table saw rip a scrap piece of wood to a width equal to desired distance between the bench edge and the holes' edges (table saw ensures parallel edges); 2) put a couple dogs through the jig's holes from the top side of the jig; 3) use the scrap piece you ripped as a spacer to place the jig's fence, by placing one edge of the spacer snugly against both dogs on the bottom of the jig, and place the fence snugly against the other edge of the spacer; 4) fasten the fence to the jig, remove the spacer board. The pair of holes and the fence are now perfectly parallel, ensuring there will be no "drift" of the line you're drilling.

Hi Tom, 4-inch centers to centers, is the distance you recommend

how about your wokbench et look special

Great video. Where can I get a drilling guide like yours?

Great idea for drilling dog holes! Do you have a video on how you built that magnificent workbench?

What is the distance between each dogs

Tom, nicely done. Which drill guide are you using?

Absolutely brilliant idea
