Step 4Drill the holes
Drill out all holes
-I'm using a drill press but a hand drill would be fine.
Brad-tip bits make a nice cut and are easy to position. For the 1"
holes
I am using a fostner bit - generally, good bits are worth buying.
-The small holes are denoted with stars. Pre-drill these with a small
bit, this is 1/16th". These are pilot holes for the brad nails, so make
sure your drill bit is smaller than the nail. Using a drill press you
can set the depth so it just touches the bottom of the hole; this leaves
a little wood to grab the tip of the nail as you are working.
