Drilling Back Holes

[pony express]

Drilling accurate back holes is tough. Getting them directly across from one another is tough. I think if if you etch a line in the Silver Bullet at the the exact spot it might be helpful. You can then use one of those Incra Tiny T's and a steel tipped etcher to draw good permanent lines. If these lines were put in the production of the Silver Bullet it would help. All you have to do then is be sure the block of wood is against the back edge.

Find and use the GoatBoy drilling jig. It's perfect.

Mines the same, but it's easily customizable.

Are you planning on releasing your 3D files and such?

Are you interested on printing one yourself?

Maybe eventually? I don't have access to a 3D printer, but it's something I'd eventually like to explore.

Did you give information on a different thread about the bushings you selected? Those seem like the most expensive part of the whole thing.

So not counting the cost of printer usage, what's the actual cost per unit? Somewhere in the neighborhood of 45 bucks to produce?
