Plane tote

Sometimes what I do is drill the hole first and then shape the tote around the hole.

Otherwise, I drill the hole half way then turn the tote over and drill the other half. You might think you'll miss the hole but with a line drawn on the outside (where the hole should track) and some careful adjustment you'll find you can hit the other hole pretty well.

A drill bit can wander quite a bit in that length. I screwed up a few totes before I tried the other approaches I mentioned.

Thanks all for the comments, Mike i had come across your learning experience somewhere else when i was searching for a solution...of course after the experience i had.:D Aint hindsite a perfect science.

Vaughn and Jonathan I plan to make it look exactly like that by doing something similar to what you described Jon. I aint gonna waste all that wood time and effort at this stage. The perfectionist in me will have to give way to the pragmatist in me.:rofl:
