I always wanted to say that. :D

I've been at the mill all day learning the multi step drill and ream process for accurate holes. Spot with center finder, center drill, drill under size, ream!

I have to say, I can drill a really square hole now but must drill many more to be a true drill master, lol. ohmmm....

Oh yeah, I got to practice on a knife too. :cool: ...gotta ream for the pivot.

Not. Gonna. Touch. That.

But seriously- that's gotta be better than *getting* reamed all day. Literally, or figuratively.

Can't wait to see some WIP shots- test mules, practice blanks etc. Tease us, O Master!!!

:D I was going to take photos but the mill is greasy! lol I need an under water camera for the shop to handle the oil.

I do have some pretty cool scraps of drilled up S7 and O1 though, I need to make something with them. Maybe a heavy duty erector set. Extrusion molds for large spaghetti?

Oh yeah other stuff too, I will take pics later! :D

:cool:

Better than being "Reamed".
that's right!
