1. depends on the length of the plug, anyway I do mine on the lathe, and depending on the length of the drill bit I use I sometimes have to finish by hand-drill with a 10-12" bit.

2. bits tend to wander in certain woods, there is a learning curve, you'll get used to what works and doesn't.

3. It depends on the moisture content of the wood. cedar is a soft wood.

keep going Larry, you're doing fine.

The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.

1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!

It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.
