maybe I'm waiting until the end so I do not show my interest and drive up the price.... Baron Conal O'hAirt / Jim Hart Aude Aliquid Dignum ' Dare Something...
Go ahead Conal... "siege the moment"... besides... think of the leverage it would give you with the property tax people... neighborhood disputes over the...
I've drilled a 1 1/4" hols into the center section of a banner stand, using a spade bit to about 5 inches deep The pole that were purchased for the banner ...
Shave off the pole ends to fit 1.25" or buy a 1 3/8" spade bit and enlarge the hole. Aiden "Those who beat their swords into plowshares plow for those who...
That would work or you could hold a piece of sandpaper in one hand, wrap it around the end of the pole and turn the pole like sharpening a pencil. 1/16 of an...
If you don't want to shave the pole, I agree with the sandpaper suggestion. I'd probably grab a chisel with a broad sweep to clear the bulk of the material...
Take a 1 1/4 inch dowel that will fit snug in the hole. Cut off about an inch and drill a centered 1/8 inch pilot hole through the piece. Saw a kerf across...
I've thought of that.... I was hoping to find an easy way to alter the hole instead of the pole.... What do you guys think about plugging the hole with a piece...
Next stand, buy the poles before you drill... :) Eirikr I do not know if he already had the poles or if he thought he was buying 1 1/4 poles or what.... He...
Yep, that is the way I understood it. I was suggesting using a swept chisel to carve the hole *larger*, then smooth it out with sandpaper. YIS, Eirikr ... the...
I've just tried milk paint out.... I like it. It's drying right now... Probably will not get a second coat on tonight. I was hoping I could get by with one...
I would go with a drum sander on a portable drill. It might take a little while but would be better than a drill bit that has nothing to stabilize and keep it...
Use a router bit with a bearing 1/16 smaller than the bit, like a rabbeting set-up. Enlarge the holes from one side about 1/2 the way through. Then use a flush...
... If you have a set of hole saws, mount the 1 1/4 inch one inside of the 1 3/8 inch one (some sets will let you do this), and then use the smaller (inner)...
Um - my time is worth more to me than the cost of a replacement length of Dowelling. So, if it was me, as a professional woodworker, I'd either replace the...
... Personally, I'd use a router and a circular hole with a guide bushing. Double-stick tape it to the top, enlarge the hole, and with the newly created large...
as a practical problem.... I could make them over.... Wouldn't be all that hard I just didn't want to waste the centers. Remember I did say 'easy' in the...

Just so I know, is this end grain we're cutting? Is it through or stopped? If you have a bit of the right size, I'd kind of use your idea, only I'd cut a kerf...
