... I need to enlarge the dog holes by about
1/8". I saw one technique where you grind the shoulders of a spade bit
at 60 degrees and proceed carefully down the holes to enlarge them. Does
anyone have better ideas?

I'd use a twist drill (carefully) -- it'll follow the existing holes
more readily than the spade bit will.

Or, the really clean way would be to glue in a waste dowel and redrill
as wanted w/ a Forstner.


Also, I initially drilled too many holes. Any thoughts on plugging them?
I might just glue in some dowels, but someone might have a more elegant
idea.

Use a dowel for the bulk but cut some matching grain plugs 1/4" thick or
so to mate up with the surface if want the appearances...
