Drawbored vs Through-Wedged Mortice & Tenon

[Fromey]

Thanks. So far I've been using a nail punch but it lacks the leverage due to its shortness. I'll now go in search of something better I can re-purpose.

I've found drawboring fun and really effective, but have you seen the prices of drawbore pins!

Funny you should say that. I was at the David Stanley auction yesterday, and I'm pretty sure I heard two drawbore pins sell for £500!! Several people I spoke to had heard it too but were equally bemused at how the bidding suddenly got so high and what was so special about them!
