Brief Description:  84 Deg Drill Jig

Managed to get a bit more elbow grease in this weekend, I mainly focused on the drill jig to ensure I get nice 84 degree holes, minimising the risk of ovaling the holes as well. Iā€™m lucky enough to have a milling machine and a lathe, so I was able to make up this little jig to make the job a bit easier. I hope the rest of vans kits have a requirement to drill 84 degree holes!

I took a bit of 1ā€x1ā€ stock, squared it off and cut it down to 2ā€ long, I deburred the whole structure and then drilled the #40 drill at 84 degrees. Perhaps too much precision?
