Half inch drill bit for quarter inch drill?

Sorry, this site doesn’t host photos, and I’m not going to create an account somewhere just to post a photo of a hole in my desk. I actually took one for y’all, and then remembered that i don’t post photos here.

Just visit imgur and paste your image there. No account required. Then paste the resulting URL back here. Takes maybe 5 extra seconds.

Sorry, I’m going to be cranky and stubborn on this one. I’m not going to learn to use imgur, etc.

I post for a phone, and moving back and forth between sites is a bit of a nuisance. I do it to post news links. But I’m not going to do it with an unfamiliar-to-me site to post an extremely unremarkable photo.

Imagine a piece of wood with a little hole and a big hole in it. That’s the wrong pilot hole and the final hole. You can’t really see that the desk is veneered particle board from my photo.

No problems, and glad to hear that the project was a success.

Before I spent any money, I’d drill four 1/4" holes as close together as possible. The raggedness is all covered, right? I’m a cheap bastard.
