You could rig something up with an electric drill for small jobs if you don't have one or... .... you could just [url="http://www.guitarpartsresource.com/guitarknobs_wood.htm"]buy them in[/url].

It was easy to align the jig perfectly by putting a bit in the chuck, lowering it into the jig and then clamping the jig to the table.
