^^^^^^^^^ That is hysterical!



Can't tell you how many guys stop by to do a "little project" --- I pile some tools on the work table and tell them "have at it".

Amazing how many can't think thru the steps and cut the big pattern first then can't figure out how to cut the smaller hole now that they don't have a pilot hole.... SO then I have to rescue the thing by setting up the mill/drill and punching the small hole in for them. Takes longer to set up the machine than it did to do the work...


Most can't lay out a simple pattern --- or know enough to make the attachment piece and the plate and drill them together so the holes line up etc... let alone = clamp the piece and use a transfer punch...

I get some good laughs out of all this... and it's not because I'm a smart ass... I've made all the same mistakes!
