Yep, that one's getting bookmarked. Simple and effective!

Very cool idea. My secret weapon when I have to do this (and there is a threaded hole) is to use transfer screws

I saw these in a video years ago and scoured the world looking for them and sourced a full set of metric and imperial ones from Little Machine Shop in the US. Mine have six transfer screws per thread size and I use them a lot. Shown here setting up to mount a chuck. Quick tap with a hammer and you are done.

As an added hint worthy of the price of admission, transfer screws and transfer punches can be bushed up to make the odd size needed.
