I came up with this while writing the clock book and just wonder if anyone else uses this method it works well even on a shaky drill.
Put the bar in the drill vice put a flat ended burr in the chuck, dab the burr on the work in the area you want the hole.

The mark shows the spot for the hole as you can see i am also below my line, put in a small centre drill and by moving the vice ( not the work in the vice) bring it on centre of the mark and on line, clamp the vice and drill the centre mark, change drills and drill through.
