What happens here

Using a measuring tape, precisely mark two locations on the aluminum angle iron where pilot holes will be drilled. These marks should be positioned 1/2 inch from each end of the 11-inch angle iron, ensuring a 10-inch center-to-center spacing between the future cup hooks. Next, use a drill fitted with a 7/64-inch drill bit to carefully drill through the marked locations on the aluminum angle iron. These holes will serve as guides for drilling smaller pilot holes into the cabinet doors.

Goal: Establish precise, consistently spaced pilot holes in the template.
