Hole drilled is off by very little....
(1/1)
mcdo15:
how do i fix with out starting a new piece of wood?  
Its not off bad but an expert will notice and shot me in the head for doing this wrong.  I thought cuting my hand a little higher and then taking the shaved part and clueing it to the opposite side...

any ideas?  

(what makes this worse, i did it for 4 times - my templete was off)
Mameotron:
Um, I'm not following you.  If you drilled your hole in the wrong place there are a few things to do.  How much is it off?  You can use a slightly larger drill bit if your hole can stand to be a little bigger.  Or, using a plug cutter or a hole saw you can cut a  round piece of wood the same size as your hole, glue it in place, and then redrill your hole in the right lcoation.

Hope this helps.
mcdo15:
yes, that does help (my dad is the handy one)

it's off maybe by 2/8 or so, not bad but not good

I repair my wood by making a paste out of sawdust and woodglue.  I just pack it on, let it dry, and sand.  It's super strong and cheap as hell.

Also, it's probably okay if your hole is a little too big as long as you're going to cover your panel with plexi+overlay or laminate.  Just make sure the hole is cut right on the top bit and that it covers up the mistake on the bottom bit.
