Great tip!

Those twist drills can wander around (walk) on wood almost as easily as metal.

Some alternatives to the blunt center punch are the "sharper" Prick punch [real tool term - product available by name at Sears] or one of the various types of Awls (Craftsman plastic headed, General wood with metal center headed or DASCO all metal [R..R..R.R - Oh yah... That's a heavy.. duty punch. Oh yah.] ).

And, in a pinch, a NAIL.
