Ha, ha, you guys are too much! Actually I loved hearing about all the different methods to solve my issue. What works for someone may not work for someone else, and a different perspective on things is never a bad thing. I did feel a bit of information overload a few times, but that's not a bad thing, I was just trying to process too many things at once, while overthinking others. I prefer being on forums where people actually HELP, rather than call you names and tell you you screwed up (although I have a feeling at the end of this some of you guys may do that anyway, lol). It's all good. You guys have helped more than you know.
While I am at it, I have an update. I have drilled all of the holes into the
breadboards only using the Forstner bit. I tried using the auger bit that Tim Dwight suggested and it darn near broke my wrist. I have a fairly powerful corded drill, but once that screw head from that auger bit got into the wood, it immediately stopped the drill and almost sent me to the ER. I tried it again, got the same result, and decided to scrap that idea. Maybe I need a super-powered drill, or I was just doing something wrong, I'm not sure. Anyway, as I said, my holes are drilled and they are actually fairly straight. I'm sure they are not perfect, but they are better than I expected.
My biggest challenge/hurdle right now is making sure the holes that I will drill into my table line up exactly. Does anyone have any tips/help on how I can mark the exact locations for where to drill my dowel holes in the table portion? I had found some of these (
http://www.amazon.com/Milescraft-534...s=dowel+center) and was on cloud 9 until I realized that no one makes them for 3/4" dowels, so now I am back to square one. Before I do anymore drilling, I want to make sure I have as accurate of a mark as possible for these other holes.
