The video was entertaining, I have a pet peeve with the dry crust salt makes when it isn't in contact with water so I still have to mix mine slowly in small buckets

 

[Matthew5664]

Right!!!!!

Got to start this somwhere so the drill came first, Went like a charm was a little scared at first but with the first one done I was onto the second one like a bad case of acne!!

With all the stuff I go on with it.

Drilled a template so not to cut to near the edge on with some blue-tak and some oil (Extra virgin of corse) Mounted it on the tank with a G clamp.

Firat one was done

Straight on to the second. Note the card for scraping the oil back into the hole as drilling.

All done there

And the waste

Next in were the bulk heads

Then got stuck into making the stand.

Don't you hate it when this happens!

And thats about as far as i got today.

Heres a litle vid for you's

 

[Mr.September15]

Did you do the drilling video

 

[Mr Miagi]

Ace! I was always too nervous to drill on my own, now I might not be. Does the drill have to be any specific speed?

 

[Matthew5664]

sorry Mr september I didn't do the video, Mr Miagi I started the drill of slow then sped up to full speed. Trick is let the drill do the work. I didn't even push down just let the weight of the drill do it.

 

[rhysiboy]

[N1z]
