Tangent
Well, not really even that. More of a detour, really.
In order to make the wedding albums I made last month, I needed to drill holes for the stitching. I have tried to do this using a hand dril and made an absolute hash of things. HASH. Of things. I really didn't want to do that to the gifties I was making. So I took Dave up on his offer to purchase for me a leetle teeny drill press. And when I say leetle teeny, I mean just that.
Dave has a drill press in the garage his shop. It's probably seven feet tall and weighs hundreds of pounds. I now have a drill press in the kitchen my work area. It's a little over a foot tall and weighs maybe fifteen pounds. And I love it to death. Loove it. To death.
This sweet little machine made the job of drilling holes about as painless as it can be. Something that took FOREVER with a hand drill is now perfectly done in minutes. It's like the pony all over again, only smaller. Much smaller. Also cheaper.
Unfortunately, these are really the only two photos that turned out. All of the rest are not really saveable. But I think my love for the drill press comes through anyway. It should.
