Nah, too many nails!

This is my rig - A vice and a 1.25 to 2 inch adapter. Simple as. Takes moments to align (depending on how far I have to walk to plot the poles ).

At the end of the day, the only true measure of how good your alignlment procedures are lie in star testing. Once that secondary is sorted out, then a laser should do the trick in seconds. A barlowed laser even better. A cheshire - that works too (but are now more expensive than lasers would you believe).
