Hey Guys,
A quick little tool I made came in handy , and worked pretty good...

I was putting my door skin on the frame....

it was a little awkward finding the center of the tube when measured and drilled...

some holes were SLIGHTLY off center....

This tool will slip over the skin.... as it touches the tube...

depending what size tube , I can drill it in center every time...

The Jig has three holes , for tube sizes 1/2" - 3/4" - 1"

Anywho... it was a simple tool to make , here's some pictures...
