Could some one tell me which size forstner bit is close to the size of a U.S. quarter? I am going to try to inlay some into the handle of my box calls. Or if there is a better way to do it and what do you guys use as far as a glue? Thanks Sam
Do you have a tape measure? I don't know the size of a quarter off hand, but I would think it wouldn't be too hard to lay one on top of a tape measure. Put one side of the quarter against the start of an "inch" line and read the measurement on the other side. :-\ I wouldn't rely on using the hook on the tape measure to get my measurement. Sometimes they have 1/16" play in them.
Sam, a uncirculated quarter is 24.3 mm in diameter. a 1" forstner bit should be 25.4 mm. that's close, get some scrap wood and give it a try.

notice how far the point on the bit goes in beyond the depth for the coin, you may have to do something about that.
Thanks guys. Got any idea on what to use for a glue?
you can grind off the point as long as your using a press
