Cork Drilling Jig

I am looking for a picture I think I saw awhile back on a jig for holding cork while drilling. Anyone know where I can find it?
Thanks.
John

The orginal Andy Dear design was in Volume 1 #5 of RodMaker.

Several variations are in the Photo Section of this site under Equipment.

Actually I believe that was the original Tom Kirkman design which Andy later began producing. I made one and it works like a charm. Great help in the shop.

Plans were indeed in the volume 1 #5 issue. Andy may also still have a few of these available for sale. It's a great tool. I think there is a photo of one on the photo page under my name. It would be the first one I ever made and the one used for the photos in the original article. They're not hard to make and sure work well.
