make sure you have a good hold on drill and just apply a little pressure on drill bit like hold back on drill when going down into the wood if you can before youy go all the way thur the hole stop and gofrom other side it will make a clean cut on both side take your time on returning drill and bit
Thanks for all your help Frank. FYI Folks Frank is one of the nices people you could meet. I've seen the work that he has done on stands both conventional and bow front and its all first rate. Frank you should go into the stand building business. A million more thanks Frank.
