Hi all, well tried a couple of the ideas you guys posted. It's a toos up between the lathe or drill press as far as which one works best.Ist thing i found was that you gotta be ultra precise on marking the centers to the point that i went to marking them from all 4 corners which helped a bit and also stepped up the bit length from only 2 in showing then 3 1/2 then 5 till hole met from each end. Still had some that walked no matter what when the sap line was very hard and the rest of the wood was very soft.Did cut down the number of goofs but didn,t go completely away.The boyancy rate is hard to match for a plug that just stays under the surface without a lip on it. So I'm gonna stick with it and try a couple other ideas to see how they work.If anything makes a big enough difference to count I post it.From some of the posts this stuff is a bitch to work with.Thanks Ron
