Drilling dog holes (by hand?)

[jcassidy]

Often it pays when drilling in from the underside to run the drill backwards until a decent line is scribed - it saves tearing that side out. Wood Beavers are brilliant but can be a bit aggresive.

Aw man, how is it that this has never occurred to me over the years of cursing and smoothing ragged edges?

It's never too late to learn new tricks...

I had great success in drilling vertical pilot holes ready to be enlarged with this the other day.
