I have been lurking on IAP forums for a couple of months but this is my first post. I have made ( or attempted to make) a few kitless pens and results have been varied, a couple I am proud of and several are not, several have ended as a pile of assorted pieces. It seems if I have several blanks of the same kind I can make a pen out of two, if I start with two I am bound to destroy at least one component.
My question is when drilling holes of different diameter should I start with the smallest and progress larger or drill the largest and decrease. A couple of sections I have made have been off center when parted off.
