and now you post your email address on this open, public forum?!? You will soon understand, young padawan. 🤘😁🤘

@boo I was thinking that it had something to do with your prints but then noticed that you didn’t do it in the third photo... and now you post your email address on this open, public forum?!? May the ...

What’s up with your fingers? @mattbeels Just edited out my finger prints. I’m so paranoid these days, identity theft. Someone with some fancy software could digitally lift fingerprints and potentiall...

@boo What’s up with your fingers?

@boo These are handy looking tools. I'm sure I can use my dremel with it's plunge base to get me a straight hole to start with, then open it up with my step drill.

Yeah, you suck @robin 😂😝jk... I guess you don’t know anyone with a drill press? Maybe someone here could whiz up a drill guide out of scrap wood and send it to you? Something like this...

Hi @matt I guess you don’t know anyone with a drill press? Maybe someone here could whiz up a drill guide out of scrap wood and send it to you? Something like this: There's a couple of local workpla...

@robin I use these tools in substitute for a decent drill press. Attachment : 5E4B2962-19BB-40A2-96C4-E1E7EAAA6191.jpeg Attachment : 584CC08D-D6F9-4462-AC94-32C133EA3F33.jpeg Attachm...

@robin Yeah I hear ya, can’t argue with that.

@matt but you might consider removing a little wood with a file or reamer to get them in there, it shouldn’t take too much?!? I did consider that, but don't want to have loose sloppy fit. I'd rather...

@boo Top drawer Robin, I’m proud of you for being proud of what you have done. I'll take that as a compliment, I think!

@eddie6string I always drill undersized holes where possible and finish with a taper reamer. It can allow you to correct minor errors like yours I like that idea. Hopefully I'll be reunited with my...

@robin Or if a drill bit is too long you could use a small diameter router bit.

@robin In the photo at the top I noticed that you have a router. Router bits usually have a 6mm shank, so you could put a 6mm drill in the collet and use it to drill vertical holes once you have plugg...

Ouch @robin, that sucks! Sorry to hear about that! Best of luck with the repair, but you might consider removing a little wood with a file or reamer to get them in there, it shouldn’t take too much?!?

I've drilled all 6 holes consistently off square and the tuners won't sit flat. That's a bummer @robin. I guess it's yet another learning experience. Cheers, Russ 🎶🎸🙏🙂...

Build #002 had been going so well until I did a trial fit of the tuners yesterday. I've drilled all 6 holes consistently off square and the tuners won't sit flat. I couldn't use my bench drill, it's o...

@robin Top drawer Robin, I’m proud of you for being proud of what you have done. ✊🎸

That turned into a long winded answer. Well explained @robin. Thank you. I thought I'd better try my limited skills on a cheaper alternative before carving up some proper tonewood. Cheers again. Rus...
