[QUOTE="MichaelM, post: 510309, member: 3466"] You probably already know this, but you have to drill the mortise and the airway on different angles: [IMG]https://2img.net/h/1.bp.blogspot.com/-EKKDrvpE-kE/TjWwhszLduI/AAAAAAAAAco/o2RFSIebWS0/s1600/oom%2Bpaul%2Bshort%2Btenon.jpg" style="width: 800px;height: 400px[/IMG] The problem is that when the bend becomes extreme you wind up drilling into the mortise wall. Some makers will cap this off with a shank extension so it is never seen, others just leave it since you only see it when the stem is off. And bourbon helps ;) Mike. [/QUOTE]
