[TowerTalk] Drill Guide for drilling holes in Al Tubing

[Stan K2STN]

That same guide is offered at the Woodworkers site, but DX Engineering 
has them beat pricewise, not counting shipping.

Not having used either one, I might lean towards the all steel guy as I 
would prefer to be able to "C" clamp the jig in place so I wouldn't have 
to worry about it slipping... I do enough of that myself... need all the 
help I can get.
