For those of you who have been following this fascinating series, the
project is nearing completion. In this episode Lou offers up some tips on how to properly align drilled holes in thick material. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TvTh0SDHvZQ&feature=youtu.be Lou announces that he plans to sell the completed boat on EBAY. It will be interesting to see what it goes for. I wish I had a monster band saw like that one he uses but it's not going to happen. |

That's what I'd do anyway. |

I think the worst powered tool I've used was a large, Milwaukee hammer drill motor. I was drilling holes in the framing of a shed I built to run romex and the bit got stuck. The drill motor had the horizontal side handle on it and the damn thing spun around and smashed it into my wrist. Thought for sure it was broken. |

When I had the business I used to like to occasionally use some of the machine shop equipment for "home projects". Always got the machinists nervous when they saw me walking out in the shop with a hunk of metal in my hand. They usually just asked, "what do you want me to do to it" and took it away from me. |

Y'all sure are a weak wristed bunch.
I only use half inch drills but drill smaller holes and then enlarge, especially when using spade bits. When drilling holes through framing lumber I use my long auger type bits...like the electricians do. |

It will be interesting to see what it goes for. It looks like he is overdue for a new drill or at least a sharpening. That dude was smoking a might. I wish I had a monster band saw like that one he uses but it's not going to happen. I had my hand on a nice one at an auction in Ft Myers that ended up going for a little over $100 but I really did not have a place for it so I did not bid. I could have had a great deal from Henc on his 1 meter bed metal lathe but I had the same problem. I would have made room for the CnC but he wasn't selling it. Build a pole barn on the property. That is the problem for a tiki bar builder like me. I am running out of property. That is why I tried to buy the house next door. I was going to make it a shop. I am still kicking myself for not coming up with the extra 12 grand (last bid) but I am not sure the bid was going to stop there and it is really a tear down. |

The only issue then is figuring out soon enough that this is not going to end well and turning a fall into a jump. |

Or do you do other exercises for that? This is another example of reaping what you sow. There was no need for the first sentence of your post. |

Great tool but an awesome amount of torque transmitted back when, not if, it jams up. I had it happen recently when drilling my concrete pool deck with a 1 1/8 masonary bit. My problem was not fully tightening the forward handle, allowing the whole tool to totate inside the attachment ring. I was lucky not to get banged up worse than I did. |
