I learned that grommet trick online here somewhere.
I actually brought a pipe with me and showed how it's done.
Drill a hole in some 1/2" black pipe, set grommet in and take a hunk of hardwood that you shaped a semi-circle on one end and hammer it on the grommet to shape it. Another way to do grommets is to do like Bigfish does and countersink the whole thing, you have to drill 2 holes, 1 the overall diameter of the grommet, and the second= a deeper hole for the swivel the size of the inner part of the grommet. I have not tried that but I want to soon.
