Angry Alien- sure, just deposite ~ $1500 in my paypal account
Chris- I was using a centre punch, Im just
that crap! Some mistakes were just the drill bit wandering a little despite the punch mark, easily corrected with a tiny bit if filing, but other errors still have me scratching my head. Measured and marked the distance carefully, centre punched, drilled perfectly straight/ right angle to the surface.. yet still off somehow by a good 1-1.5mm ( holes too close together ). Im not gonna let it worry me too much as you cant see any of the mistakes unless you dismantle the truck (ignore the obvious hole in
this picture as I recycled a spare bit of angle that had a few holes in it already), but I do look forward to this year as I will treat myself to some new workshop toys now that my little sister and her boyfriend have moved out of the spare room, giving me back my workshop; gonna get a proper work bench, drill press, few new metal working tools ( files and large hacksaw, junior one is no good for trimming up larger pieces of metal ) and a decent vice.
I would dearly love a small hobby shop type lathe and vertical mill,
The Candyman bought some a little while back to make his life easier and its awesome some of the stuff he's produced, but I cant really justify spending £300-500 on each of those, then a load more on top for tooling; I'll just send you guys my drawings and lots of cookies
