I saw some methods of concentric drilling dowel,  ...just a distraction.
It looked like a challenge, so I tried
 1 drilled a 25mm hole in a stringer.

sawed a clamp relief to hold it from spinning out
Swapped out for a 22mm forstner
ensured it was still concentric.
And amazingly enough it worked

who would have believed it. ...now back to the Credenza!

Looks like a home made version of that tool you were looking for, something sure to be put up into the mental file cabinet!
Wow that’s really good Rob!
No reason that wouldn't work. Now I can make my own bronze bushings. I just repaired a gate hinge by clamping the loop for the hinge pin in my vice. If I welded that loop, I could put in a bronze bushing and never have to oil it again.
