Default RE: How to drill straight without a drill press ?

I made a drilling jig from a small block of hardwood about 1" thick, with a hole drilled slightly larger than the hole being drilled. Howeverm the hole in the jig should be drilled with a drill press, however once drilled, it can be used numerous times. I found this method works well when drilling 1/4" holes through the wing and hold down blocks for the hold down bolts.
