|
| Manual measuring and marking application. Nothing automatic on
| this job except my drills and I think the saw.
|
|| If it's a log, does it need to be rotated before drilling, or are

|
| No rotation. All holes on same plane.
|
| Big job - more like construction than actual woodworking alone.

Gotcha - but I think the difference is only of scale. The earlier
Radio Shack suggestion is good if you're (even minimally)
electronically literate. If not, you're invited to e-mail me directly
to discuss specs, schedule, and budget. :-)
