Bad Day
Working on a green Bradford Pear blank. Sawed it round. Attached a
faceplate and turned the outside and dovetail socket. Then it
happened. The faceplate was attached with six #10 screws. Three came
out ok (I use an impact driver). The fourth one twisted off at the
neck. The fifth and sixth ones could not be backed out. Ruined an
impact Phillips bit. Finally drilled out the screw heads and cut them
off with a cold chisel. Threw that blank away. I think I will start
waxing the screws.
