I’m interested in picking up a shelf pin/stud hole drilling jig. Does anyone have any experience with them and any recommendations? A definate plus for me would be a unit that I can pick up here in the UK, shipping from the States being fairly expensive.

There's a good kind that is offered by many sources in the US for $30 or so. I'd bet that you can find similar jigs in the UK. The jig is a piece of metal or plastic with a row of holes in it. It can be used with a drill, but it works much better with a plunge router. The depth stop on the router ensures that the hole will never come through the back side. With a router, a template guide positions the router in the hole. Use a bit designed for plunge cutting.
