Did You

get a mark that looks like this? Drill to left "bird"? Makes you hop around a little, huh?

That plug can be saved! Drill from the other end, once the holes connect fill the blow out with epoxy! Sand and paint! It gives me a good feeling when I can cheat the system and save a plug!!
BTW; It's not only you Bob, it happens to everyone now and then!
Play through the pain!

I do the belly holes first and drill with the short bit from front and then the back to the belly hole, much easier and never misses.

Why even try.........

i don't try to take too much out at once. that way if you start to screw something up, you can usually save it. i also listen to the bit, when it starts to bend or walk, it makes a different sound and i know to correct it. too bad about the finger, hope it heals quick for ya.
