I needed to copy the hole spacing on a part I'd ruined so I clamped it to the plate with a couple vice grips. Then in the drill vice and drill the hole in one shot. The drill grabbed right when busting through and the part pulled right out of the vice and turned into a helicopter. I'm glad the vice was as high as it was, I just got a nasty bruise on my belly. If it had been a few inches lower, I'd be a soprano right now. Can you sing worth a **** as a baritone or bass? Barry Gibbs and the BeeGee's made a ton of money singing falsetto sopano. I see that your sense of humor is returning. ![]() That's what Barry Gibbs got for running the mic cord between his legs, and being too cheap to by the longer cord. ;-) -- You can't have a sense of humor, if you have no sense. |
