I've searched I don't know how many times for a video on something like this and couldn't find anything really practical. Today I was just scrolling through and came across this video and I'm glad I did. Love it. Thank you for sharing. This is going to make my life a lot easier.
Great idea is right. I used this idea to create a jig for my table top drill press so that I could drill pen blanks easier. My drill press only has a 2 inch throw so drilling pen blanks was challenging since I'd continually have to drill then stop, adjust the blank and continue drilling. I used this idea to create a jig that I can set in place, clamp the blank, drill to the depth of the press, loosen the clamp holding the blank and move it up about an inch, then continue drilling. Because I only have to move the blank slightly, the existing hole acts as a mold for the drill and I don't get any wobbling at the top or bottom of the blank. I can then repeat for the next blank, etc. I can drill a bunch of blanks or drill only one. What a time saver! Thanks so much for the idea!
Another great jig! And I like the idea of clamping the plywood before installing the screws so the plies aren't split while the screws are cutting the threads. Thanks.
Very nice drill press jig Colin! Really like the clamping of the wood prior to driving the screw in. Another "why didn't I ever think of doing that" moment!
good idea, you are a great teacher, but what I like the most is you are having fun all the time and laughing. Thanks for all the knowledge you share to us. Blessings from Veracruz,Mexico.
Useful idea for me! I use a similar drill press, and have had the same issue of drilling into tall pieces. With regard to putting screws into the edge of plywood--You're using 1/2" ply, and what look to me to be #6 screws. I routinely use $8 screws into the edge of 1/2" plywood, and haven't had problems with splitting, as long as my hole was centered in the edge. I often set the screws hard, burying the head with a countersink, if it's in a location where appearance isn't important. I usually measure and mark a line to make sure that I'm going into the center of the ply, but it's still a lot quicker than stopping to clamp the ply. Thanks for another great video!
I was hoping this video would show me a workaround for those annoying threaded depth stops that many drill presses, including mine. have. Do you have any suggestions for get around turning and turning and turning?
Great video, I plan on making a jig like this to bore 2 too 2.5 inch holes in vases that I have turned on lathe. These vases are irregular in diameter and are very hard to hold tightly in bed of drill press. Do you think such a vise will work?
I use my bench mule as the vertical support for drilling due to the stability and adding another use to a single jig. Maybe worth a try for some. I hope!
Great video as usual. I just made a similar jig for drilling holes in the side of small cheese slicer boards to rig the slicing hardware. The travel on my drill press doesn't move far enough so I had to raise the stage while drilling to get the desired depth. Thanks Colin
Thanks for the video. Great ideas. It would have been interesting to see how hard it was to put the drill point on the center and keep there while you clamped.
Oh sweet! I just bought my first floor model drill press and I feel like a kid in a candy shop! I look forward to making these jigs and tools to make my drilling a 'whole' lot better!
HI Colin, if I recall, you're the one who taught me how to hold a dowel on a drill press (v-notched piece of wood). Seems like that would be a perfect addition to this jig. Thanks for the tip.
Sir the same can also be achieved with just the 90* jig. I cut slots into the lower part to allow for use with the slots in the press base. A couple of bolts and wing nuts will allow for placement and tightening.
More great content. Thank you, sir, I look forward to your videos. I also got one of your Man Glitter T-shirts for my son. He is a father of 2 (Sunday is Father's Day as I write this) and an aspiring handyman/woodworker.
Great video for a useful project! To locate the holes for the inner brace, you could drill them from the inside face of the main boards. You scribed the location of the brace on those inside faces. Then you can drill the countersink and clearance hole from the outside faces.
Hi Colin, Once again another clever but simple jig. As others have already commented why has nobody shown the clamping of the ply prior to screwing the screw all the way in. Cheers Huw
Excellent Jig! Its raining here in Northern Wisconsin today so I know what I might be doing this afternoon. So you get those pesky chipmunks 6:16 in your shop too eh? They drive me crazy! I have to shoosh them out at the end of the shop day or they use the belt sander as a treadmill all night!
I always enjoy your videos, but I have a request. When you do a project, could you try and describe it verbally as though someone was listening to it over a podcast? Being 100% blind, there are a lot of us that don’t necessarily get “put it like this“, “ move this over there“ or countless other visual non-description descriptions. I know there’s a lot of us that would greatly appreciate it. Thank you very much and keep up the good work.
C'mon Collin..90 to your 45.. It'll grab every time..but you knew that..just forgot. Old age is getting us before our time.. lol I have a cylinder, but it's tapered just slightly and I need to drill straight down.. Any suggestions?
A lot of woodworking RUclipsrs do not use the riving knife. I believe it is so that we, the viewers, can get a better view of exactly what is happening as the cuts are made.
You can, gut then you have to make sure to reset to perfect level when your done. Also, the locking system for many drill press tables can be a relay pain.

I was looking for a jig to help me and you are so on my list of jigs made of all types this one is perfect. Thank you so much for the help. Mike
I like that idea I've been having no luck with vertical projects until now thank you sir you really have some great ideas
I would hire this guy any day for any woodwork i needed
Perfect addition... off to the shop to replicate it. Thank you

Again a simple to the point ,1000 percent useful woodwork jig. Colin Rocks 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Thanks for watching!
Hi Colin. it was a great video. good job
Great idea. On a side note, what is the mitre gauge fence brand you used when you cut your angles?
That is an Osborne miter gauge. I have one - I find it more accurate and firm than the typical.
How about a little more detail about how you mount the jig to the drill press?
Great video, I plan on making a jig like this to bore 2 too 2.5 inch holes in vases that I have turned on lathe. These vases are irregular in diameter and are very hard to hold tightly in bed of drill press. Do you think such a vise will work?
Good idea, and works well. 👍
Always plenty of good use for recycling wood.👌
Good on ya, mate.
Thank You, Bill!

Simple but effective! Nicely done!
Thank You!
I like! Thanks
You're Welcome!
Another very good ideal
Great video! What is the piece of angle-iron called that you used to square everything? Thanks
As always informational and helpful content. Thank you, sir. What table saw are you using? Awesome setup
That's a clever jig! Thanks for sharing. It'll come on my to do list.
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!

Or can use a regular drill press vise
HI Colin, if I recall, you're the one who taught me how to hold a dowel on a drill press (v-notched piece of wood). Seems like that would be a perfect addition to this jig. Thanks for the tip.
Yup, adding a vgroove would work perfect for end drilling pieces of dowel. Thanks for watching.
I love your videos! I always learn so much. Keep up the great work!
As usual a great tip. I also appreciate your top notch video skills. Please keep the tips coming!!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!

Thank you for watching and thanks for supporting the show by buying a t-shirt, it's much appreciated!
Thanks for the video! Looks like a great option.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
From the comments, "Clever", Great idea/jig. Yeah, that about covers it. Thanks for all your great ideas!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
What are you using for the 90 degree clamping braces? They look like brackets. I could came great glueing braves but they are spendy.
They are a clamping brace, like the ones here: amzn.to/2IziTWO
Colin, this is so simple but also so effective! awsome idea my friend!
Thank You!
Nice, I will make one next time I have that job to do
Great video for a useful project! To locate the holes for the inner brace, you could drill them from the inside face of the main boards. You scribed the location of the brace on those inside faces. Then you can drill the countersink and clearance hole from the outside faces.

Gosto muito dos vídeo,,so do brasil , parabéns por passar seu conhecimento pra nós,👏👏👏👏
Thank you for another great idea
You're Welcome!
so, what is that tool he was using for scribing, also those countersink drill bits are cool. is that an attachment for the drill or a type of bit?
It's a mortise gauge. They have one pin on one side for what he was doing, and two pins on the other for marking mortises.
Nice friend!
Stabilized and safe ! Great idea Colin
Cheers, Bram
Thank You!
Good idea my friend. Thanks
You're Welcome!
Great stuff Mr K! 👍😎🇦🇺
Thank You!
You could also drill a hoke the size of the dowel into scrap plywood then put the dowel into the hole. The plywood would act as a stand.
Excellent Jig! Its raining here in Northern Wisconsin today so I know what I might be doing this afternoon. So you get those pesky chipmunks 6:16 in your shop too eh? They drive me crazy! I have to shoosh them out at the end of the shop day or they use the belt sander as a treadmill all night!

Clever 👍🏻
Thank You!
What kind of mitre gauge do you have on the table saw?
Following cause I noticed it too and was wondering same thing
Hey Colin do you have any stickers? Would like one for my collection
I'm still working on making stickers. Soon I hope.
How many times have I wanted to drill a straight hole vertically this solves that problem. Thanks.
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
Great idea Colin! Thank you for sharing.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Another awesome jig Sir !!!!!!! Thanks for the knowledge
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Why are you not using riving knife?
A lot of woodworking RUclipsrs do not use the riving knife. I believe it is so that we, the viewers, can get a better view of exactly what is happening as the cuts are made.
Mark has it right, for tutorials I remove them so they don't get in the way of the demo.
👍
?? I understand removing the blade guard to give a better view, but does a riving knife block keep us from seeing what you are doing?
"I got around to doing it after 25 years with this drill press, teachers wondering why the homework isn't done overnight never made much sense."
What's a hecta among friends?
Why not just tilt the drill table ?
You can, gut then you have to make sure to reset to perfect level when your done. Also, the locking system for many drill press tables can be a relay pain.
Yes, I guess the Incra-miter gauge didn't work out. I saw the video where you set up the Incra but never saw you using it again.
7:53 octagon
Why not just rotate the drill press table 90 degrees? Thats why the table is made to rotate? Rotate the table and clamp the work.
FIRST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
projectmonke tool
How's she goin'? That's a dandy jig for the drill press!!! Take care!!
Thank You!
Hello everyone i am calling Canet.. said Google translate
clamp the ply - why has nobody told me this before?
Pilot hole would do the same job
Graham Austin
I was thinking that pilot hole may do same thing but I think compressed wood offers better grip possibly. What do you think?
Quite possibly, I’ve never tried clamping the wood before, but it’s not always possible to clamp every time especially with larger projects
@@grahamaustin5618 There would still be some outward pressure while the screws are cutting their own threads.
Hope it helps! Thanks for watching!
Very long and boring conversations
Go get thyself some wooden hand screws. C-clamps are for welders and other reprobates 😂
