You did a fantastic job. Very clean cut.Thanks for the idea.
I'm using a drill press with a forstner bit, a fresh piece of wood underneath, and clamp on the button. It cuts through smoothly if I go slow...but the breakthrough on the back side always makes a cracking sound, even when it's just fine. I think it's the last scrap of the hole finishing off.
Scares me each time it does it, but the button has been just fine so far!
Ceramic is the perfect description of this stuff. Hard and brittle.
Treat yo selfWell, I made some!

I made a minimum order, so I only have 8 to offer.
I’ll reach out to the first people that expressed an interest in the thread and see if they still want one.
I’m sure I’ll make another order of these soon, but I’ll likely need to do small batches because making the hole is a slow process…it’s really brittle when the bit is coming through the other side. For the inside edge, I used a tan permanent marker (thanks to @Benjaminotaur for the idea)
Small orders mean I don’t get any discount, either. I’ll try to do these when I can!
YOU EAT THEM TOO??!?
Are you using the full size bit start to finish, one shot from side A to side B? I'm wondering if there would be less chance of chipping/damage with a small pilot hole through and through first and then using that to center a full size bit slowly working your way in alternating from both sides to meet in the middle (hopefully, less chance of significant damage)? Or, if there is minor damage, a little chamfering could take it out?Well, I made some!
