A circumstance like a Chickering 4 section block, fr'instance, or a square.
Generally you will find that the 1/2" bores will overlap so you have to
drill and plug in stages. (sometimes 3 or 4 for tight set pins)
You _will_ make a lot of sawdust.
I never went all the through, leaving about 1/8" for structural and
ęsthetic reasons. BTW, I used yellow Elmers back then ('85/86) with good
