You can finish first or drill first, your choice. Drilling first then finishing will result in (at least some) of the varnish getting into the holes, which will not really add any value I can think of and perhaps cause you to re-drill the holes to the proper size prior to inserting the wood inserts and grommet.
Should you drill holes before or after staining?
So, to answer your question, finish first, drill after. If you’re using brad point drill bits, they should be able to leave a nice, clean hole through the finish. If you’re using a close-grained wood (like maple) you’ll get better results than using an open-grained wood (like red oak).
How do you keep wood from chipping when drilling?
An even better method of preventing splintering when drilling holes is to use a scrap piece of wood or plywood as a backup block. Place this behind the piece of plywood to be drilled, directly over the place where the hole is to come through.

How do you drill Cabinet holes without splintering wood?
To drill small holes in wood you need brad point drill bits that are specifically designed for use in timber. These bits are perfect for drilling pilot holes for screws and other small holes without splintering the timber.
How do you prevent a blowout when drilling?
The best way to prevent drill blowout is by clamping a scrap piece of wood to the backside of the piece you’re drilling on. Then when you drill the whole, the wood that would’ve otherwise “blown out” hits the scrap wood and remains in place.

You can finish first or drill first, your choice.

Can you drill a hole in finished wood?
Tip. If the wood has a finish coat, you probably don’t need tape if you’re drilling through solid wood. Most finishes bind the grain and prevent splintering. Use tape if you’re drilling through a laminate, however.
Can you ruin a drill bit?
If the speed is too fast (the drill spins too quickly) the drill bit will not bite into the metal, it will just spin without cutting very much. This causes a lot of friction, which overheats the drill bit and makes it dull. If you run the drill too slow, it will just take longer to cut.
How do you stop wood from splitting?
You can keep wood from splitting by applying a sealant or stabilizer, using a salt paste, applying varnish, applying paintable wax, or applying boiled linseed oil. Those methods will help you to keep wood from splitting when nailing, screwing, drying, cutting, and sawing.
What is the difference between a kick and a blowout?
A kick is defined as flow of formation fluids or gas into the welbore, a blowout is the uncontrolled release of the fluid or gas, gained through the kick. A blowout can take place at the surface or into another formation( underground blowout).
What is a blowout in drilling?
An oil well blowout is an uncontrolled release of crude oil. Blowouts occur when pressure release systems fail. They can also occur if a spark or flame contacts the oil or for other reasons. Oil well blowouts cause death and catastrophic injuries to workers near the scene of a blowout.
How do you drill smooth holes in wood?
Quote from Youtube video: So you can do with the spade. Bit. So when they drill halfway through until the point comes through on the other. Side. You know it is and then most going to pop it in this side and drill. Gently.
Should I finish wood before or after assembly?
As a general rule of thumb, I pre-finish whenever it will be difficult or tedious to finish after assembly. For instance, the inside of a small cabinet or any place where three planes meet.
Can you screw into finished wood?
Yes, you can screw in a screw without a drill. You don’t necessarily need a hand drill or power tool when installing screws. Many projects can be completed using a manual screwdriver.
Should you sand before or after assembly?
General idea is to get everything ready for final assembly and then sand/finish before assembly. (Making sure you don’t get finish on areas that need glue). Masking tape for protecting areas is a good idea.
Should you sand before gluing wood?
Our work has shown that a smooth surface will always have higher strength than a rough surface. Two-hundred grit or higher sanding to get flat or tight-fitting joints works well. Wood glues work by attaching to cellulose on the wood and the smoother (tighter) the joint, the less adhesive is needed to bond the surfaces.
Should I sand wood before cutting?
If you have larger pieces of wood board that you are planning on cutting up, sanding it all with an 80-100 grit before you cut it will save you time. This initial sanding process is the heaviest part as it involves removing the scratches, dents and milling marks.
Is it OK to stain wood before gluing?
Wood glue can be a godsend when you want to avoid nails or screws in exposed areas, but it can get confusing over whether you should stain your wood before gluing it or just glue over already finished wood. Wood glue will not stick properly to stained wood. As a general rule, you should use wood glue only on bare wood.
Can you stain over the top of wood glue?
Yes, you can stain your project after assembling it using wood glue. But you need to ensure you remove every ounce of the excess glue from the wood surface before applying stain for the best results.
How long should wood glue dry before staining?
Just to mention, the 24 hours quoted for the full drying time is really generous. Even in challenging conditions it would usually take far less time than this for you to be safe in assuming a glue joint is fully dry, perhaps 6-8 hours, although you could give yourself a safety margin and wait a full half day.
