Default Make That Hole Bigger!

You have a drilled hole that is too small. You can't just put a bigger
sized Forstner or spade bit it the hole because it has nowhere to
center. Here's the solution!

Take a correct size forstner bit and drill a hole in a 3/8 or 1/2"
piece of scrap. Center this hole over the original smaller hole and
clamp in place. Using this as a guide drill out the smaller hole with
the forstner bit.

This is for when you have forstner bits but no Harbor Freight within
30 miles (as I am).
