Trying my hand at hand-tool chair making. First project is the Pete Galbert perch stool. I've bored my leg holes through the seat. Using a 6-degree reamer from Elia Bizzarri. I'm finding out that my seat wood is probably too hard. Should have used pine (or similar). VERY slow going with the hand reamer. Looking to speed things up using a brace or electric drill with reamer bit. Problem is that I can't find a 6-degree tapered reamer (bit). Lots of 7-degree reamers available. My idea is to use a 7-degree reamer to get close, then finish with the 6-degree reamer. The inexpensive hand-crank 7-degree reamers that I've found are too small (~7/16" x 1/2"). Holes are 7/8" in the bottom side of the seat. I think a 7-degree ball joint reamer would work, but the cheapest I can find is ~$90. The Veritas reamers are ~12-degree. I'd rather stay with 6-degree tapers, for now. Any suggestions?
