Knievel:
No problem Jim. Most of the info you'll want is here someplace, I know it can be hard to find though.

Sometimes I will recall a thread that I've read in the past that can help me with a problem/question I've got. But for the life of me no amount of searches seems to bring it up. :P

This is how I drilled out all my button holes using a 1-1/8" foerstner bit (even though this picture is of me drilling out the corners for my coin door).   

:cheers:

Which is why good threads like Timoe's tutorial that Knievel posted is stickied to the top of the forum, so it won't get buried  ;D

One more thought on this ... are you using MDF or plywood?

That pic of the forstner bit .. apparently works great on MDF, but it sucked when I tried to use it on plywood.

If you're using plywood, I had the best luck with a spade bit. I don't own a hole saw, but remember to clamp it down to another piece of wood to minimize the underside splintering.
