Dave, Love the book, but have a couple of questions about your pens. What adhesive do you use to join the woods? I've had some problems with the adhesive failing when drilling them out - - I think the heat of the bit gets to them. What are you using for finish? I recently just learned how to use a CA finish, and I really like it. Thanks, Alan

I'm a newbie trying to learn how to sew. I have the Tandy awl with the 4 blades, including the #2 and #3 awl. I also have the adjustable groover. My problem is that even with the smallest supplied awl blade, the holes seem really large and potentially wider than the groove. Is this normal? I might be using the awl incorrectly by driving it almost full length, but trying to control the depth is rather difficult. Help. Alan
