Tabernacle pivot holes are trued up after initial drill through
I originally drilled the pivot holes with a forstner bit, with slow progress being careful to keep them as plumb as possible by hand (the things we do when short of a drill press).  They came out almost dead plumb, but were slightly off.  A run through from each side with this corrected that.  A 7/16 SS tube slides inside the 1/2 inch hole after it has been sealed.  A jig will be used to bond in the tube sections *true*.
