Brian,I think, with tongue in cheek, Chris was referring to the block of wood.Mine consists of a block of Oak, with various hole sizes drilled from mydrill press. You can locate the block with an awl or center punch, clamp into place, drill away.Gary BootheCool, CAPietenpolWW Corvair ConversionTail done, Fuselage on gear18 ribs done-----Original Message-----

BrianIn addition to the hardwood block design that Chris just mentioned I alsoused a "U" shaped jig made from copper water pipe fittings and stainlesssteel tubing. Complete info on the drill jig came from Clif Dawson. Here isa link..... http://clifdawson.ca/Tools_and_Tips.html. The copper tubingjig works great for drilling the fittings on the spars. I have attacedphotos of both type drill jigs in use.Rick Schreiber> [Original Message]

RickYour method is the same as I used. I just didn't want to weld up the jig. The coppertubing and fittings was simple and I had the raw material in stock. I likedthe fact that I could drill the strut fittings as a matched set on the drillpress. I then clamped then in place on the spar and drilled with the jig. Becauseof the set up the hole has to come out perfectly aligned.Rick Schreiber ----- Original Message -----
