    Hey Steve, great video, and stitching pony. Have you ever thought about making your videos without music? I think "maker" videos are best when we get to hear the sound of the tools and the making process. Anyways, great job! 👏

    Hello, very nice indeed ! Is the large hole angled at 11:54 ? It always amazed by people drilling perfectly straight like that... I would never dare, unless I have at least 50 wood pieces left... maybe I should give it a try, my drill press is wobbling too much now, useless.

If not can you put a clamp over the two pieces where the insert is going to help avoid breakout also if it’s a tight fit and difficult to screw in add a little bit soap to the threads of your.
