Semisane

The though of drilling a bolt hole through a stock blank was a real butt clencher for me.

It seemed so much could go wrong. I didn't want to mess up a fine piece of Walnut. An Internet search didn't help much - other than some advice to pay to have it done by a pro. I hate doing that and don't even know where there might be a "pro" who could do it.

After mulling it over with a nice single malt Scotch I came up with my own method. It worked out so well I thought it would be worthwhile to post for others in need.

Here's what I did - in fifteen pictures.
