I have ordered a desk stand in order to attach my Jvice to a piece of local monkeypod I had prepared here on Kauai.

The desk stand hasn't arrived yet. But, I need to drill a 10mm hole in the wood as the wood is nearly 2" thick and I don't want my vise too high.

So, the wood could be turned in either direction. Where should the hole/vise be placed???????

Let me know, please
Byron
