Step 5Drill the 'Track'
Now for the really tricky part, drilling the dowel hole in the 'track'.
In order to get that 'trophy' look, we need to set the track at an angle on the dowel. Doing this on the drill press makes this alot easier, but i have done it free hand with a hand held drill.
On the drill press, I set the table to 25 degrees. Next, I adjusted the alignment of the jig to ensure the bit hits the center of the wood. Lastly, I adjusted the depth of the cut to ensure I wouldn't drill all the way through the wood.
Remember to dill the BOTTOM of the track piece.
