Fast, repeatable, and simple. The best kind of solution. I recently found and bought some couplers that fit two different diameters so I could use smaller shank bits ( servocity.com) They’re aluminum tho, so maybe less robust than the steel ones
I have just watched this for the second time. I enjoy your posts. There are three things from which I have really prospered: 1) Using a deck of cards to explain wood grain, 2) Angle jig for drilling leg holes, 3) and now this.
Damn! 1) Using a deck of playing cards to demonstrate wood grain, 2) Jig for correct angle drilling for leg holes, 3) This video - - I can't complain for paying for your Substack posts
This is awesome!
Smarty pants. Gees always coming up with the goods. 👌 Love it.
I'm dangerous in a hardware store ;)
Thanks Pete. A Wonderful tip and easy jig to set up. Nice solution to my novice stretcher drilling issues.
Cheers,
Michael
Thanks Michael!
Simplicity rules, looking forward to trying this one.
Excellent addition to the Galbert tool creations. I have my tube part on order and look forward to test driving it on my next chair. Thanks Pete!
I have an incredible urge to make specifically for shooting darts across the shop. Maybe with a laser attached.

Thank you for sharing this. Just drilled for stretchers for the first time. This would have eased the anxiety.

Gotta love smart, simple solutions to otherwise complex situations.
I’m pretty sure Izzy Swan made a youtube video of a tool for lining up chair stretcher mortises that looks useful.
I’ll have to check it out, I’ve known Izzy since before YouTube was even a think, very inventive guy
