Stop Marking Every Hole — Use This Metal Template Trick

Описание: If you’re making multiple brackets with the same hole pattern, laying out every hole on every part wastes a ton of time.

Here’s the trick:
Take a thin piece of sheet metal (24–26 gauge works great) and lay out your hole pattern one time. Drill or punch the holes in the sheet metal and now you have a reusable template.

Clamp the template over your bracket, hit each hole with a center punch, and move on to the next part.

Instead of laying out 75 holes for 15 brackets, you only lay out 5 holes once.

This is one of those simple fabrication tricks that saves a ton of time in the shop.
