Repair an Old Classic Book (rebinding).

Step 5 Drilling the books spine. SAFETY ISSUE !!

I set my drill bit into the "drill-chuck" so that the drill bit DOES NOT exit out the other side of the board.  This is somewhat important for SAFETY.  If you allow your drill bit to exit the other side, you must be VERY CAREFULL not to drill into your fingers!!!  I do not like to drill into my fingers, so i made SURE this would not happen by using this simple tip.  Please study this picture carefully.  I am NOT SHOWING where to drill in this picture.  I am showing the DRILL BITS LENGTH is not going to PENETRATE the wood!! When we start drilling, we will drill near the spines EDGE,  Not way up here where the bit is in this picture.
