Drill the plugs
1 Cut plug blanks 3¼" [83mm] long (measured with the grain for
long-grain plugs) or 3¼" [83mm] wide (measured across the grain
for cross-grain plugs). For best results, make the blanks from
leftover scraps of the wood used for your project, or from
wood with a similar color and grain pattern (see Tips).
ATTENTION Due to the grain orientation, cross-grain plugs
are much more likely to chip out than long-grain plugs. It is
possible to make good cross-grain plugs, but the reject rate will
be greater than for long-grain plugs.
2 Clamp a plug blank into the jig with the grain oriented in the desired
direction.Theblankmustsitatagainsttheguideblock,soremove
