Mike, I think something might be burning to the bottom of the pot, as we read quotes from Rumsfeld.
I have also seen draw bored holes that had a tad too much draw in them, and with a green peg driver not paying attention, pounded the peg through the start of the hole into the tenon and at which point the pointed peg was driven, not through the remaining hole but into the timber and out the other side. This done by the owners teenage son. If you need a sledge to knock the peg into place, at least don't force it. I could not get the peg back out, I left it as it was.
