stock in a warm, dry place such as over the furnace and don't use stock fresh from the lumberyard.

There's such a variety of drills available that the beginner can be confused as to which is best for drilling dowel holes. Years ago, before the electric hand drill, woodworkers bored holes with an auger chucked into a hand brace (Fig. 8A). Many still use this method, especially for deep holes, but it's slower and more physically demanding.

High speed twist drills, the kind commonly sold in hardware stores, are probably used by more woodworkers than any other type (Fig. SB). This, in spite of the fact that they are designed for drilling in metal rather than wood. Because they lack a central spur or screw, they tend to wander a bit which

makes them a doubtful choice for boring clean holes in end or edge grain.

Probably the best approach is to purchase a set of brad-point drill bits (Fig. 8C) for use with an electric hand drill or drillpress. The brad point on these bits digs in at dead center and the double spurs cut clean holes. Like everything else, there is some variation in the quality of these bits. They should be used at fairly high speed and, all things considered, they will do the job better than the other types.

Another accessory needed to maintain uniformity of the depth of the holes you bore is the drill stop or depth gauge (Fig. 9), For many woodworkers, a strip of masking tape wrapped around the drill bit at the proper height is sufficient. Others drill through a hardwood dowel or block and use this as a stop. Commercial gauges are generally steel collars that fit the drill shank and can be locked at
