Drill jig system

A method of drilling a hole in a workpiece having a pilot hole formed therein using a drill jig system, the method comprising:

• positioning a first clamp member and a second clamp member of a clamping device of the drill jig system on opposing sides of the workpiece, wherein the first clamp member or the second clamp member has a first opening formed therein that removably receives an alignment device of the drill jig system, wherein the alignment device includes a spring-biased alignment element that is biased toward the workpiece and into the pilot hole;
• clamping the clamping device to the opposing sides of the workpiece via the first clamp member and the second clamp member while the spring-biased alignment element remains biased into the pilot hole;
• while the clamping device remains clamped to the opposing sides of the workpiece, removing the alignment device from the first opening and inserting a drill guide device of the drill jig system into the first opening that removably receives the drill guide device to align a drilling axis of the drill guide device with the pilot hole;
• and
• while the clamping device remains clamped to the opposing sides of the workpiece and the drill guide device is received by the first opening, drilling the hole in the workpiece along the drilling axis through the drill guide device.
