I keep telling people about this but for some reason never thought to look it up online...

On an unrelated note... the problem with power tool tasks around here is that I'll say, "How would I do this?" and my father will wander down to the basement with me trailing after like a ten year old, and he'll go through a long complicated mental process of working out what the best tools and methods are for the project (admittedly I often do this when sewing things...) while I stand around (in this case getting more and more nervous...) until it all gets sorted out and I missed half of what the sorting process was and have spent some longish period of time watching someone else sort out a project. Admittedly this time didn't turn out too badly, but it's still an awkward process.

Anyway, doll shoulders went from this:


with the intervention of a custom-ground drill bit (amazingly hand-ground to be almost completely even on both sides, which is most likely pure luck)


To this:


Wing sockets! (ok, I can stop being nervous now...)
