All done with a draw knife and a hole saw/ chisel to clean the holes out. Trace the hole saw bit on the end of the log and draw it down to that size. I built him a shaving horse for helping me learn the trade, it works well for solo work on the smaller spindles.
woodshop said:Adrpk I like your benches... wonder how something like that would sell at one of my shows. Not sure I want to invest in any more tooling at the moment though, got more stuff I don't use as much as I should now.
Adrpk said:Nice furniture! No glue, I like that. I am fascinated with "Japanese joinery", I don't like the style all but the work that goes into joining pieces of wood with out glue is fascinating.

well, it Doesn't mean indian-fartBtw, Tribal, what's up with your user name? Of course don't answer if your not up to it. Struck the cord of curiosity in me, had to ask. Are you really American Indian or into going tribal on things?
BTW, on the drill twisting thing, I saw a guy almost snap his arm and bust all his knuckles on wall framing drilling a hole for a plumbing vent with a hole-hawg. This guy wasn't a small dude either...That drill had some serious power!
