woodchips were flying and stuff

Well, the auger bit I picked up yesterday makes holes just a little bit faster and a little more violently than the spade bits I have. Kinda like a rabid wolverine or something. Woodchips fly, the stud shakes and the drill doesn't know what to do with itself.

Anywho, I had to keep myself from drilling holes in everythin it was that fun. It's nice having a bit that does the work for you. Now if I could just teach it to chaffeur me to work and back each day...

I also picked up a new measuring tape. It's a cheater tape. See, I have problems measuring in inches and it takes me time to figure out fractions that end in /8". You know, 5/8, 7/8, 3/8. So the tape I bought has that on it. It helped immensely last night when I was making some backing plates.

Again, no pictures of the basement. The camera battery needed charging, so I'll see what I can do tonight. In the meantime here's a tourist trophy picture because I actually have one of those.

I was playing around in photoshop with this pic. It's a Honda NSR 250cc race modified bike.

Weight of scrap wood, 28.3lbs, total weight of screws used 43.9lbs...

and just be careful not to electrocute yourself, though it may promote hairgrowth... ;)

I found out that shocks don't promote hair growth. At least not on my head.
