Why do some people drill their holes after the plug is turned??? Seems like it would be easier to drill when wood is rectagular for better clamping in drill press jig???
Almost time to get our fish on!!!

You can see the grain and drill the hole into the flat of the grain - less chance of splitting.

not everyone plans out ahead of time or does production work, some of us do small batches of a few kinds and unique one of a kind stuff too.
