If you have a dremel with the cut off wheels they work pretty good. Also you can use blue masking tape to follow as a guide by taping off the size hole you want.
So I made another cooking Wok for a friend and he wanted horse shoe handles on his. Then I did some cooking on mine this weekend to try it out. All I can say is Damn that was good food.
Also made a table extension for my chop saw.

Here is a site that has a lot of taps and what you possibly need. A good quality tap. I use these at work a lot.

JP Awesome work you have done explaining your work and hard dedication. just happened to go thru your post and you had inspired me to do one for the wife as well. I learned my method from Dorothy Steigler, a master blacksmith in Orange county. I also spent a month under a master blacksmith Frank...

Awesome setup and great work. I love the Blacksmithing as well. I have my own shop as well in the back yard. I went to Frank Turley's Blacksmithing school in New Mexico about 15 years ago. What a great experience. Just getting back into it and belong to CBA. California Blacksmithing Association...
