Well I think I pi$$ed away the last few weeks of work on a loft bed, all in a matter of 15 minutes. I designed the loft so that it can be broken down and moved. The front/back rails are held to the left/right sides with furniture bolts. The front/back rails are recessed in a dado in the left/right sides, along with wooden dowels. The problem came up when I was drilling clearance holes for the bolts into the ends of the front/back rails. I made sure the bit was perpendicular in ONE direction but not the other. :thumbdown: So now when the frame is assembled there is a twist in the front/back rails. It's not much, but it makes the entire frame look shabby.
How do I drill holes that are square to a face? Beside using a drill press.
