In theory, “mind your own business” is a great life philosophy. That is, right up until you have a neighbor whose dog won't shut up.

i started watching your videos again very recently and they inspired me to clean up my workshop (garage) and get back to woodworking. thank you.
I'm really loving these unlisted vids :-)
I installed a bubble on my hand drill and now drill straight holes easily and every time free hand. Only note is you must have your piece sitting on a level surface (like my workbench) on your angle will change. I like you jig for a one time jig for larger timbers but seems harder than using a bubble level to guide me. I have a couple of videos on drilling straight and any angle hole free hand accurately if you are looking for other ideas. Great video as always Pockets. I hope they keep coming :>)
If this doesn't encourage folks to look at how they can reduce errors throughout then nothing will. Nice one pocket 👍
That's a point I really tried to *drill down on* in this video.

@@pocket83squared Nice :) But you forgot to drop the mic in a dramatic way...
Big Gator drill block. Love this simple piece of equipment.
Thank you for taking the time to make this! Great tip!
Certainly. Thank you for taking the time to tell me that.
Excellent. Thank you so much for posting this.
That’s as clever as it gets! I’m going out to my shed now to give it a try before fixing my daughter’s new door canopy to the wall.
I used to make a bunch of those games. I used a template made from 3/4 ply that was a triangle the same size and had all the holes in it already. Then just clamped it to the other triangles and drills all my holes that way with a stop set on my drill bit
Nice! I have a drill press, but still have plenty of occasions to use a jig like this. I normally make aluminium ones, which is super easy because I have a drill press! Appreciate this method though and will 'pocket' it for use come the drill-press apocalypse. Peace, B.
I will definitely remember this next time i need to make a series of fairly even square drilled holes. Nifty jig!
You are clever...thanks for your information.
Love it!!
But you need a drill press to make the jig accurately. Hahaha
I bought a "Gator Tools" drill guide and it does a decent job although probably more prone to error than your jig.
I've drilled wonky holes with a drill press several times 😅
The most used version of your jig is just two pieces put together at an angle, or one piece with a bit taken out of it so it leaves a 90 degree corner.
This probably has good application in instances where you can't remotely use a drill press - like having a perpendicular bar mounted in the side of brick wall, etc.
Nice video
Thanks. Hadn't considered how I was going to drill 6” timbers squarely. Clamping the press to the timber was a thought.
Interesting problem. This x-jig approach would certainly work, as long as the timbers have a flat surface. If it's a big job, maybe fab something like this from metal. Harbor Freight sells extra-long drill bits that are pretty cheap.
@@pocket83squared40 holes and reasonably flat (tool marks from the circular sawmill’s teeth should average out). A 12” 0.25” bit drilling to a 3.5” depth hoping to hit the opposing hole enlarging in steps to a 0.5” dia hole. Should average the error a bit. Using a wide X jig should reduce error a bit.
Clamping the drill press really won't work well as the throw on the quill is almost 3” and the table would need to be readjusted upward on the column once maybe twice. (Worst case the foot/base would be removed for a little more clearance.)
Thanks.
Nice jig.
The problem with this is - how do you get to make that jig accurate hahaha
I have the same drill but the hole is worn , difficult to get a straight fit
are we limited to one drill size ?
Hang on! How did you get the vertical hole in your jig?
That's something I could explain to you here.
Or, you _could_ try watching how it's outlined exactly IN THE VIDEO.
Will you ever do a house tour?
Probably not. There's one of my last house, but I'm really starting to phase out personal content.
@@pocket83squared I hear ya. Yeah, I saw the old house video last night, but have seen the video before and revisiting it. Was just wondering if you were going to show the new one. I'm 17, from Alabama, and the videos are very intriguing. Math is cool!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
