What's the best way to match drill holes between dissimilar materials particularly wood and steel, where you're probably not going to drill through the entire stackup at once.

For instance, how would you drill the common holes that attach a steel spar fitting to a wooden spar, where you probably want to use a HS bit on the steel, and a forstner bit on the wood, and it is critical to maintain alignment all the way through the assembly?
