Yawn!

I disagree, at the start of the thread he didn't know if it would work and it could have failed miserably but it didn't. So a pat on the back is deserved in my opinion.

Lets not get our knickers in a twist shall we . . . .

365 drills I apologise!

Kindly remove that offensive picture however as it does not show you or the forum in a good light . . .

I don't think it was an unreasonable post avatar, he's gone to the effort to fabricate a tool and has decided to show us the process! We had to do a similer thing but this way would have been so much easier! We had to take the tile off on the other side , we were drilling diagonal so there was no way to measure up.

lighten up i would have posted far worse!

if im in this situation then i know who im ringing up!

 

[Rickster123]

Haha offensive?! If you get offended by that I'd like to apologise for this.... :ciappa:

Cheer up!

[dancinplumba]

[Howsie]

Yikes!

 

[Rickster123]

Yikes!

Yikes?! I haven't heard that said since 1983!

 

[dancinplumba]

Yikes!

That's a word BATMAN would use

 

[Keefy]

Yikes!

Yikes indeed, I thought he was just joking about being offended? Oh well, he'll be back soon and we can get back to talking about drill bits.

 

[TomLane]

Can't you lot just play nicely?!

I leave you alone for a while & this happens. I'm not angry, I'm just disappointed!

Back to the subject in hand, I still don't definitively know why the customer wanted this drill & why they wanted to drill the hole in this way? What's it all for? That's all I want to know........ please.

 

[Dotty]

I think I'm going with the voyeur camp of thinking........

HA HA, I drilled out a 22mm hole to get a prv blow off out through a stone n rubble wall today, took a wee while, over 20 mins and when I finally broke through, I trotted downstairs to inspect the exterior result and it looks like Ive got some rendering to do next week! 1/2m2 of thick render popped off the wall, must remember to to bring my cores in the van next time

That's a bummer

 

[lame plumber]

yep, nice new cores are so much better than a 1m masonary drill, tkaes just as long in stone though. Still the old bird makes great coffee and a lovely sponge so not all bad.
