If one does not have a drill press is there another way (jig) of drilling for the tuners on a classical guitar?
How to make the holes perfectly vertical and parallel?
How did luthiers in the past?

thank you

I use LMI's jig and a regular hand drill. The jig has steel bushings and works great - you really get perfect holes.
