Serious Straight Drill Guide Jig

thingiverse

This is a jig to help you to drill straight holes on the fly with a hand drill. The jig is simple to use, just align your drill bit flush to the two walls and you're ready to go. The jig is very stable, with a reduced foot print and a good grip. The jug works with any round drill bit, even forstner ones. You can't use bits that are not round, like spade drill bits.

It's a tip I learned from my grand'pa. His jig was a simple 45° cut on an offcut block of wood. I made a lot of these jigs by the past, but I lost them as soon as I finished using it ! Because it's just another block of wood... So I wanted something I can keep on a pegboard and stop wasting some time to build another each time I need it ! I wanted a small footprint to be able to use the jig even in small places likes inside a cabinet. A good grip is a must because blocks of wood are not always easy to hold and it slips easily. I did not wanted it to be to high to, because height limits the depht of cut of small drill bits. Last, I wanted the V shape to be large enough to hold small bits to large ones.
