From reading the earlier responses, this is what I decided to do. I

try making a plug of some sort.



Thanks to all.





Be sure to let us know when you've reached a successful solution,

so we can keep arguing about it and telling you how you did it wrong. :-D





There's lots of "did it wrong" to choose from in my forays into

woodworking, so anytime there's a shortage of things to argue about,

feel free to ask. That doesn't seem to happen very often though.



And perhaps to sum up this string:

It is a saying we, as woodworkers have probably heard before but it took on new meaning a 3-4 years ago as we were finishing our house. We let a local cabinet maker do our kitchen and bath cabinets (Yeah, I know - I was supposed to build them myself). This guy is a true professional who was trained in the Pitt State (KS) wood technology program many years ago. He did custom work for a few years than opened a mass-production cabinetry factory building office furniture for several of the office chains. But after quite a bit of success with that we went back to custom work and they are very good at it.

Lawrence, being the ultimate pro, caught my attention when I heard one of his guys let out a little burst of profanity. He looked at the error, smiled at me and said it. "You know Bill the true sign of a wood craftsman is how well he can hide his f***up's.
