Here is the latest Luthier Tips du Jour video. - In this video I show how to drill six bridge holes in a straight line using the LMI Bridge Drill Jig. This is the old version of this jig. They now have a new and improved version. This video as well as all my other videos are available via my website, http://www.obrienguitars.com/videos , LMI's website or on youtube.

Hmm, a cross slide vise is infinitely adjustable, covers any spread at the bridge and you can angle the bridge pin holes. Just sayin'...

The name catgut is confusing. There are two explanations for the mix up.

Catgut is an abbreviation of the word cattle gut. Gut strings are made from sheep or goat intestines, in the past even from horse, mule or donkey intestines.

Otherwise it could be from the word kitgut or kitstring. Kit meant fiddle, not kitten.

If you are only concerned with keeping the holes in a straight line you can do that by clamping a fence on the table of the drill press. The jig helps you maintain the same distance between holes as well.
