Here you go, Daniel. You will start with the base. Technically, in this particular case, the size doesn't matter. 
However, what really matters, is all sides are even and are perfectly square (this is imperative)! Mark\devide all sides in half and scraped them, frankly, scraping is unnecessary and the pencil line would suffice, however scraping makes a line thinner.
Time to drill a center hole. Recall when you made your trucks, the hole was the size of your mandrel bolt. Now..., your axletree might have a larger diameter so you will have to drill the tracks first. In this case, the center hole should be the rod representing the diameter of your axletree. I didn't find a suitable diameter rod, so I use tubing instead. The track doesn't have to fit snug on the rod, but it doesn't have to be too loose either. It has to be easily rotated with your fingers.
Time to drill the first hole for the bolts. Position your track into the jig, and adjust the correct distance accordingly, This can be precisely done with the X\Y coordinate table. Drill the first hole for the bolts, and adjust as necessary until fully satisfied. The drill bit should be the diameter of the wire you will use for bolts. In this example, I am using a 3.90mm drill bit, and the wire is 4.00mm. Next, remove the truck from the jig and rotate the jig to the next side, This is where an absolute square comes into play. Drill another hole thru the jig, without the truck on. This hole will be used for the guidance pin. The pin should be made out of a broken drill bit (the same diameter you are using to drill the holes). DON't attached the pin yet!!!
Before attaching the pin to the jig, drill the initial hole in all your trucks. Once completed, attach the guidance pin, only a few mm should suffice, see the above images. And now the fun time. Get the truck and position the hole on the pin, drill the hole. Lift the truck and position just drilled hole on the pin... you got it, drill another hole! lift and turn the truck until all the holes are drilled. That should be it! Once all the trucks are drilled, make the bolts by simply inserting the wire into the holes and cutting flush. Sand a bit to make it even and smooth.
The right wheel (truck) is made with copper wire and rounded bolts, all other bolts imitate using brass wire. Below is the sketch I made (no scale), hope it will kick your 'Aha' moment. But please feel to ask if you need help.
Happy bolting!!
