Just saw Norm using a plastic shelf support boring jig with a self centering drill bit. He used it to make adjustable shelves. Anyone know where I can get one or something similar?

Was it one of the "Jig-It" templets?:

Thanks, guess I just needed to know the correct term to Google.

Thanks for the tip and I like home made jigs but when working with fine tollerances like with having consistent shelves that don't wobble, I'm going to order the jig
If you want something a more robust than plastic, take a look at the Lee Valley offerings such as this one.

Don't have a clue, but his jig using 13 ply birch, based on a router /W/ guide bushing and 1/4" up spiral bit works quite well; however, his hole layout techniwue sucks.
See Fred Bingham's book for a better method.

Then there's always the MEG Products 32mm Line Boring Router Guide that Norm has used.
