Title: Need to make a drilling jig (or some other method ) to drill a 3pc
Post by: arachnid on November 28, 2018, 09:38:45 AM

Hi guys.
I'm trying my luck with a 3pc takedown longbow and I need plans for a DIY drilling jig (I have no drill press either).

Anyone have such a thing?

I've got one of those self centering jigs that I have not used in 15yrs. You can have it, if you would like it.
I'm cheap though, you would have to pay for the shipping.
