Charl, It looks interesting, but if I paid my money, and got the items you show on the web page, I wouldn't have a clue how to use them to make a through hole. If your web page had a very clear, step by step set of directions for USE of the kit, including pictures where they would help (I understand parts of it wouldn't be visible) then I would be a lot more likely to purchase.
