Pen Blank Drilling Jig
Made this a few months back. I actually made one of these a long time ago when I started turning pens. Eventually I moved on to using Pen Chuck Jaws on the lathe for drilling my pen blanks. But I thought it would be fun to revisit making another one. Its a simple build with scrap ply,mdf for the base, and a toggle clamp. Thats a Zebra wood pen blank I'm getting ready for a PSI Bolt Action Pen kit.

Not a pen guy, but that is a very functional DP jig.
I often find myself setting up a piece of 4" Al angle on the table and using clamps to hold parts vertical. I've been doing it enough lately that I really need to make a jig like this!

i do a fair amount of pens and a good drilling jig is worth every penny.
working with my hands is a joy,it gives me a sense of fulfillment,somthing so many seek and so few find.-SAM MALOOF.
Nicely done Jeff. The design is simple yet very functional....
