Balls up!

[gscott1979]

After waiting somewhat impatiently for my new drill bits to arrive so I could start my first mosfet box,what happens when they finally do arrive? I only go and balls up the placement of the template for marking out switch placement only to discover in doing so there will be no way in hell the keystone will fit now,aaarghhhh!
New enclosure ordered! Try again

Could be worse, I was drilling out the air hole in my dripper today for the drill bit to commit suicide, and tried to take my finger with it

I find a 12v cordless drill with an auto brake is a winner. I drill my attys with a Makita 12v. If you slip it's a stab rather than a drill hole....hmmm, actually dunno which is worse there.

Understood, nor am i actually, it's old now & runs partly on will power.

Makita is the cheapest though! Mine is 18 years old and still going strong even on the orginal battery packs, I reckon If i'd bought some budget brand i'd have gone through 3 or 4 in that time.

Ian, what doesn't kill you makes you a better modder.
