Yes, that was part of my thinking too.
I probably wont be exactly sure how I'm going to do it until I actually make a start.
You know how it is.
One problem that I foresee is that the vice might get in the way of the drilling operation.
And I would prefer to drill it on my little drill press if I can, rather than offhand in the bench vice, but then the clamping becomes even more tricky.
But thanks for the input.
ps.
Fortunately, I inherited a number of taper reamers (for finishing the holes for taper pins) from my father.
I fancy that these might come in handy, enabling me to drill the initial holes quite small and then enlarge them afterwards with said taper reamers.
.... hopefully.
