place it on a some scrap stock to make the index block
I used some welding rod for the index pins, drill the center one 1st. then put a pin then one of the outside holes then put a pin in the hole then the next hole and then put a pin in that one and then just leave the pins in place and dril the other holes once you have them all drilled pull the pins and chuck up a drill bit and drill out the holes..I used 1 5/8" bit but it can be just about any size you want to use.
Almost no sanding needed for this type...not sanding jig needed just the index block...
NOTE*** I recommend using a hole saw for the bigger holes if you are going to use real hard wood (Cherry,hard Maple,etc.) for the knobs the hardwooda are real hard on the Forstner Bits , they do like to heat up if you go over 1/2" deep..and you will cook your bits..
