Yea Tangster Otty didn't tell you about the dirty trick he played on me during the first hole.

As you can imagine we've got a room full of fish tank addicts watching the bit go slowly through the glass. I'm squatted down beside the tank and about half way through as all is quiet Otty yells BOOM!!! Man I swear to you I jumped a foot off the ground and my heart skipped a beat.

Should take Karma away from him for that one!!!

All turned out good though and you're right, nothing like drilling some holes in a fish tank!!!

LOL I would have scared you to death.. I drill them rather fast.. Last one I did was a totally unplanned 150 for a friend ata LFS they had no clue where the holes went or where wanted and totally unplanned.. I was drilling with the 18V cordless and I was like damn this will take for ever! The LFS guy was watching as he did when I drilled his a few yrs a go at his home .. With that very bit you have and It took me longer for one hole with the cordless then it did for the next 5 with my old 120V Dewalt (: and he was like daaaaam going kind of fast aren't you ??? LOL 6 hole 30 mins .. The phone conversation with the guy the new owner put in charge (: A plug fell through and I said hell some silicon will fix that and Tom went almost white LOL I had to do it Dems the rules..

It's looking real good along with the 1/4" paint on the back!! Swiss cheese was a great way to describe it! Kogle... you should post some shots of the basement as a whole... looks like a tornado ripped through it!!
