Step 1: 5/28/22 Taping the Tie down.  Note: The hole should first be drilled out to 5/16 to receive a 3/8-16 tap.  The hole is undersized by Vans.  A trick a machinist taught me, put the tap in your drill press and center your piece under while turning the tap BY HAND.  DON'T turn on the drill!  It's just a jig to keep things straight while you start the tap.  Once you get a couple turns on the tap, take it out, put in your vice and finish.
