It was admittingly "off the cuff" so we missed a lot of details like the following.

1. I used a center punch before hand and neglected to mention it.

2. Placing wood under the side panel works better, but we didn't have any avail! (just moved in)

3. I wasn't wearing safety glasses.

4. It was first time we used that drill press with a 4.5" hole saw blade. Only to learn it lacks sufficiant torque.

Did you like the informal format? We're trying to keep it unscripted, or real.

Great video! I'm sure this will help a lot of people. Sometimes it's really tough to explain so things yet so easy to just show some one. Keep up the great work Bill.

Looks good. While watching the vid I was going to recommend a piece of wood underneath what you were drilling. Those invisible safety glasses look good where can i get a pair?

Best of luck to you with your new venture.

Pfft - real men work with steel and keep a magnet to remove the filings from their eye.

HEHE was very interesting to watch. You touched the key points of securing the part being drilled, the safty glasses, the melting plastic.

You bet! We'll go over our most popular guides etc at some point too. We also want to interview other modders, fabricators, small manufacturers that will bring more insight into our hobby.

Stu and I really want to perform these "unscripted" so it doesn't look rehearsed. You get to see who we really are. Two guys (starving artists) who love modding regardless if we're getting paid for our services or not. "live to mod, mod to live" lol.

Thanks for the feedback gang!

What a tool, and I'm not talking about the hole saws. JK. Like they say, a picture is worth a thousand words and apparently so is a video. I do like the informal format. Most instructional videos are too stiff.
