Last newbie question (for today):
I'm having trouble getting the holes straight when drilling blanks. I've tried speeding up the drill speed and slowing it down, but I'm still getting holes that are off-center coming out of the bottom end. I'm using a nearly new brad point bit and using wood like brazilian cherry, lacewood, etc. I'm also using a centering vice. I'm sure there is something obvious I'm overlooking...
Very cool forum. I've been studying pictures and taking notes all afternoon. You guys make some dang nice pens.
