I just tell him to use the right size drill.I am also not a fan of the counter bored hole look. i like the smooth grommetized look much better, but to each his own. just my useless 2 cents, peanut gallery, devils advocate, observation.

Paul i do the same thing but you know i am always looking for an excuse to make a new tool. Btw how is that Stan Kuzia tail weight mold coming along?









Had to throw that in for Bruce........................

Thank you for the tips fellas. I guess I'm thinking through things more than I have too. I already have lettered bits and the wood laying around for shaping.

Here's the way I see it.
Do you care? Do you clean up your shop and keep your tools in good working order? Do you clean your tackle after each use? Yes yes and Yes? You will probably use grommets. No, No and No well probably not.
Grommets are something that simply add a touch of finish to your creation. It's all in the presentation.

My shop is a godawful mess, my tools on their last legs, and I only clean my tackle when it breaks. But I do use grommets.
