Off Topic DIY

I generally just turn the chuck by hand with a bit of weight behind it until the bit is through the initial glaze, and then drill as normal. I don't recall ever having a problem.

 

Is that a pic of you in your avatar, DMD?

 

Yep. Hurts like **** when he yanks me up by my lugs like that.

 

OK thanks. I don't actually watch those reality dancng programmes myself.

 

I had you down as someone who would use tools on a daily basis

 

Or use any blunt instrument - I use a broken screwdriver.

 

I don't know who "Chuck" is, but he's a lucky guy.

 

Me

 

You ****. I spat my beer out and got told off.

 

I'd do the same. Once you have made a starting place you're good to go.

 

No one’s interested in your sexual techniques

Focus on the chap’s DIY problems FFS

 

It's true DIY.

 

Always make sure your starting place is somewhere public.

 

Masking tape, center punches or any other way of making your starting point is no ****ing use when the drill bits look like this.

Eh? Yet again, I do believe I'm proper whooshed

 

I can't be the only person thinking that this whole thread is a gay euphemism?

Re-read the thread but replace the word 'drill' with 'cock'.

 

I can't be 'arsed'...

Bob isn't Chuck, but he is a right Charlie.

 

Just you, anyway despite all the conflicting advise I drilled the holes in the tiles so you can now steer the thread in any way you so desire
