Paul, Your quote: "Joe After you finished with step 2, place a scrap piece under your stock and clamp it to the table. Now redrill one pin hole throught the stock and partly into the scrap. Remove the stock, install and glue a short dowel of appropriate size into the scrap. It is an easy matter to center the pin holes under the plug cutter by placing the stock onto the index pin. Continue the process as described. Paul C" That would work, ONLY if the stock was cut to the proper thickness and the holes were drilled all the way through. If you do it that way, (and there's a few reasons not to), then you will have splintering and other problems to contend with. If you had read my post carefully, you would have seen that the way I do it, keeps all "in captive" until they are all bandsawed free of the stock. Either way is a pain, IMO, but the end results are worth it!<G> Best regards, Joe Garrett, RPT, (Oregon) Captain, Tool Police Squares Are I
