Re: Offset wood bed holes

I have been thinking of using a correct size hole saw in my drill press to cut the circle for the washer to the correct depth and sharpening up my small wood chisel to remove the maybe 1/8 to 3/16 depth of wood. Practice with some scrap wood to set the depth stop at the right height.

There used to be a tutorial on the net for doing those offset washer holes but I haven't seen it for years.

I saved the GMC Paul's bedwood measurements here in case something happens to it on his site. https://photobucket.com/u/mr48chev/a...3-d16cc47d1404 That and the other info that I have saved over the years on my Mr 48Chev photobucket page is there for folks to use.

If you have my page open and click on GM AD truck info (click on the drop down arrow) it opens up a list of things I have saved and you may see something of your own at times that can be shared with others to answer questions.
