Why do forster bits cut a slightly bigger hole than regular drill bits? Dowels fit sloppy loose when you bore the hole with a forster but they fit tight when you use a regular drill bit.

Yeah it was empty. Just there to represent the load. I was fully expecting my dog to knock it down before I could get a picture.PS: Obviously, I based my answer on a heavy load being in the bucket. In your photo's situation, it wouldn't matter. As it appears to be an empty bucket!
My first question is resolved. I made these with a 3/4" dome shaped bit. There's no purpose for these items. I was just experimenting, learning. The shellac finishes are another experiment to see if plywood can be made pretty, and I guess I'm also going to see how shellac holds up to skin oil and light friction. Wifey likes to run her fingers back and forth through the router cuts like one of those soapstone blocks with the spoon shaped concavity you're supposed to rub with your thumb.
The center part of this pulley is two pieces of oak, glued up with their grain directions perpendicular.
I'd like to use that router bit to round out the groove in the pulley where the rope will go.
Its not necessary but it'll look better.
