• Hi all and welcome to TheWoodHaven2 brought into the 21st Century, kicking and screaming! We all have Alasdair to thank for the vast bulk of the heavy lifting to get us here, no more so than me because he's taken away a huge burden of responsibility from my shoulders and brought us to this new shiny home, with all your previous content (hopefully) still intact! Please peruse and feed back. There is still plenty to do, like changing the colour scheme, adding the banner graphic, tweaking the odd setting here and there so I have added a new thread in the 'Technical Issues, Bugs and Feature Requests' forum for you to add any issues you find, any missing settings or just anything you'd like to see added/removed from the feature set that Xenforo offers. We will get to everything over the coming weeks so please be patient, but add anything at all to the thread I mention above and we promise to get to them over the next few days/weeks/months. In the meantime, please enjoy!

Quick question - drill bits

Sam, getting back on topic, you suggested a router. Not sure if you realise, but all of the drilling is in a vertical orientation (the bookcases are already installed).

Adrian, I'm not sure if you realise, but I didn't. Mention using a router. I said...base like wot is used on some routers. I refer the right Hon Gent to Bill Hylton's entertaining treatise: "Router Magic", pp50 et seq, where the Murrican Guru goes into good, methodical detail. Yes, William is a router afficionado....BUT...the principle applies, especially for engraved cross hairs method (of lining up a drill bush instead of a router).

Yes, I did know also you were facing a difficult task - with potential embarassment if you failed - on a narrow access, vertical bookcase component.
 
To end the thread. Right angle chuck converter arrived. So did the special bits. Job done. No break out. A friend held the template in place using the padded stick as a brace. Was good enough and quite quick with two of us. Thanks for the assistance and ideas all.
 
Off the wall thought.
Rather than dig the hole with a drill bit, would grinding out work? Carbide burrs? Dental drills? Router bit?

Bod, thanks for taking the trouble to post. However, the post immediately above yours is me saying the job is complete.
