When turning things like candlesticks, salt and pepper shakers, even pepper mills, is it better to drill the hole for the socket, salt and pepper vials, grinder mechanism etc., first, and then use a cone centre or jam chuck to hold the piece with the hole centred, than to drill the hole last? I ask because last year I made many candlesticks for practice, and not a single one had the socket perfectly centred.
Anyway, I'm about to start wasting perfectly good turning wood unless I can get those holes in the right place.
