I know this has been covered before, but does anyone have advice to help make neat elongated screw holes for a cherry chest of drawers.
I have a whole series of runners and kickers that that need to be attached to the sides (15" wide) and each runner is 2 1/2 wide.
I have tried to drill the two ends of the slots and then rock the bit to clear out the inner slots. Then using a countersink to elongate the top so that the screw head moves as well. Not only is this a ton of work, but it usually looks like something a rat gnawed when i do it. It should be simple and I can figure something out, but I am just wondering what you folks do.
thanks,
Stevo
