Hi Kevin,

Doesn't matter, you found a process that worked for
you. Thats the trick everyone forgets, get it working
for themselves and not try to 'convert' everyone else
to their process. Share their success but leave the
preaching at home. :)

I thought the holes were drilled with a cnc, they were
very straight. I'm considering building a small cnc
driller. Any photos or plans for yours?

There was a thread here but it got swamped.

TANSTAAFL!
