I know you can't bank on wishes. But that's my wish for you, Wolfen. Who knows?!
Never any harm in asking, like you did here.
And I sure would like you to enjoy your rig and all, Wolfen.
My problem is giving away cash isn't a hobby that I can afford.
Wish I could! But. I can't.
Any steel over 3/16" (even mild steel):
- A Mag Drill is THE way to go
Of course, if you can get your hands on one. A local machine shop might do it for you (gone that route a couple of times).
Nice item:

I'm following your lead, frank8003, and packing up to "leave".
Not TOO soon, I hope! But the exit is inevitable. No one gets out alive...

It's just a joke. But not far off the mark!
Yeah, I took French.
Had a teacher made us memorize Lincoln's Gettysburg Address, in French. That was a hoot!
My mother was a war bride, and grew up in Paris. She tutored two of us in Spanish and two of us in French, for our schooling.
She spoke...
It looks great!
