"Ok. Now, I've got that screw down in there as tight as it will go. And, our next step is going to be, to counter sink and put in a little support screw here to try and draw the edges of the slot close into the handle and give the handle a little more stability. I've got my counter sink here. Now, this tool will drill a hole for the screw to go into and also form a little pocket that shaped like the end of this screw. As you can see, that's got what you call a bugle tip on it. And, it's got a little curve that goes up. And, this tool is going to cut that in the shape of the end of this screw. We'll get right down here. Don't get too close to the edge or it will tear out. You want to give it enough meat to support the screw. And, we'll just drill in here. A little bit more. Ok. We'll do that on both sides. Ok. That's ok; we're going to grind that off anyway. So, that looks pretty good. And, the next step is going to be to install these little screws."
