I just hold in hand ... if you drill belly hole first some really hot heat will come out of there ,,maybe causing you to let go .. I've let go and had to run for it ... I've had an extention cord roll up in the drill press and rip a 4' flouresent light off the ceiling .. better listen to those other guys ..

If you come to the plugfest i'll give you a lesson on how to hold the lure with your hand or jig or whatever and drill it.  |

Wow...thanks for the overwhelming feedback...in the end I made
a set of jaws using the same eastern white pine that I make my
blanks from and cut a cavity a little larger than the thickest part of the
plug blank with a forstner bit...It works great, I don't even need to
mount the wooden jaws to the vice...pressure holds them in place
...I need to post a pic! Thanks Again...

I never find anything (well almost anything) I am looking for there except for stuff like nails and screws and that is marginal. Most all of the odd tools I have purchased over the last 5 years have come from the internet. You have to pay for shipping, but with gas at 3.00 and my time to look and not always find what I need, it is nice to have it show up at my door. I luckily have a nice big old fashioned hardware store not too far from me where I can get stuff. It is also nice to see a sales person in nearly every row of the store. |

I couldn't agree more...I mean, your not going to find "Letter" sized drill
bits at Home Depot or "Lowe's" The best thing for specialty tools for this
hobby is the internet... |
