    You are absolutely correct about a lead bender...and you know, it is really
strange, that is one tool I don't have!  It would probably speed things up a
bit for me.  I am still just using my eye, which, even though my eyesight is
now pretty bad, I have always been able to bend the components at the correct
place.  A bender would change it from a two step to one step operation.

    I will be posting a picture of my "Drill Stand" as soon as I finish
installing it.  It needs to be leveled and bolted to the floor.
