I'm sure I could find something...

See you Tuesday!

Have you eaten all those hobnobs yet? Tesco are doing them 2 for 1 so can bring plenty round to keep you occupied...:heehee:

Right, drawing attached of proposed hole layout for bed.

Machine should be able to drill most of the holes but won't be able to tap them.

Just the 380 holes to tap by hand then......:confused:

I've got an air tapper, 20p per hole, hows that sound ?

Sounds bloody brilliant.

Just re-designed it and it now only has 4 holes in, when can I come and 'borrow it' and drop the 80p off?

Been drilling the 360 holes in the bed plate tonight, centre drilled them first then drilled them blind down to 19mm depth with a 6.8 drill ready for tapping.

Had to shuffle the plate along the bed so the machine could get to some of the holes, still need to shuffle it back to get to the remaining 60 that are left but should have it done for the end of the week.

Took a while so I did a video while I was waiting for it to finish, bit like watching paint dry but i thought i would share it with you...
