Extended length hardware jig

A jig system for locating holes on a workpiece, the system comprising:

• a rail;
• the rail extending a length between a first end and a second end;
• the rail having indicia indicating measurement along the length of the rail;
• a first extension member extending a length between a first end and a second end;
• the first extension member having indicia indicating measurement along the first extension member;
• a first outer block assembly;
• the first outer block assembly having a first drill aperture;
• the first outer block assembly operably connected to the rail and configured to move relative to the rail in a first direction;
• the first outer block assembly operatively connected to the first extension member;
• the first extension member configured to move relative to the rail in a second direction;
• wherein the first extension member is configured to engage the workpiece at a first point of contact;
• a second extension member extending a length between a first end and a second end;
• the second extension member having indicia indicating measurement along the second extension member;
• a second outer block assembly;
• the second outer block assembly having a second drill aperture;
• the second outer block assembly operably connected to the rail and configured to move relative to the rail in the first direction;
• the second outer block assembly operatively connected to the second extension member;
• the second extension member configured to move relative to the rail in the second direction;
• wherein the second extension member is configured to engage the workpiece at a second point of contact;
• wherein the first drill aperture of the first outer block assembly is positioned substantially downward from the first point of contact;
• wherein the second drill aperture of the second outer block assembly is positioned substantially downward from the second point of contact;
• and
• wherein a drill is configured to extend through the first drill aperture of the first outer block assembly to drill a first hole in the workpiece;
• wherein the drill is configured to extend through the second drill aperture of the second outer block assembly to drill a second hole in the workpiece.

A jig system for locating holes on a workpiece, the system comprising:

• a rail;
• the rail extending a length between a first end and a second end;
• a pair of outer block assemblies;
• the pair of outer block assemblies operably connected to and configured to be movable along the length of the rail;
• the pair of outer block assemblies having a pair of drill apertures;
• the pair of outer block assemblies operably connected to a pair of extension members;
• the pair of extension members each extending a length between a first end and a second end;
• the pair of outer block assemblies operably connected to the pair of extension members;
• the pair of extension members configured to be movable vertically along the pair of outer block assemblies;
• wherein the pair of outer block assemblies are configured to independently engage an edge of the workpiece;
• wherein the pair of outer block assemblies are configured to be positioned at predetermined locations along the length of the rail;
• wherein the pair of outer block assemblies are configured to be positioned at predetermined locations along the length of the pair of extension members;
• wherein when the pair of outer block assemblies are positioned at the predetermined locations on the rail and the predetermined locations on the pair of extension members, a drill can be extended through the pair of drill apertures to form holes in the workpiece.
