Hi All,
I have been learning a great deal from the Gunny on plug building and have begun to amass the supplies and tools to do this myself. In my internet research I have discovered that drilling through holes appears to something that is very much a personal preference based on many factors including what tools you have. So my question is how and when do you drill the through holes for your plugs and why?
Thanks!
I can see your point but most plugs means you favor lips, just as many plugs turned without them. Lets leave that up to the angler.. Opinions are just that.

Not an opinion friend ..FACT.... unless you only make needles... poppers.. or bottles.. and to a degree darters.. your going to have to learn how to do it properly... one never limits ones self to only one style of plug... doing so is a recipee for failure...
Ive been using a drill press and for some reason every time i try to drill threw it never comes out evenly out the other side, so ive resorted to using my dewalt gun to do it instead. Why is this happening when using the drill press?any help would be great
You need a woodblock with a nail to rest in bottom of plug using a pilot hole, if nothing shifts and bits straight, drill half way and flip to top centered pilot hole. Drill second half and meet in middle.. Make sure the nailboards secure, if it shifts your s.o.l.
O boy going to being using some of these ideas to work :icon_idea:
