IMG_0157.JPGBoring 1174 viewsBoring all four holes at the correct angle is the only real challenging part of the project, and I used a Stanley #18 bevel clamped to the work, along with some guide lines to keep the angles consistent. Since the large auger I wanted to use lacked forward facing spurs, I started each hole with a #20 spur bit in a brace, then switched to the big 1 1/4" two-handed auger as soon as I had scored the entry cut enough to avoid tear-out.TRexF16
