Was it hard boiled or over easy to turn and did you have to shell out much for the kit?

Seriously though and no egg-sageration, you've egg-stracted an egg-cellent result from that little egg-speriment Paul.
I'd be egg-static with that egg-straordinary item and egg-spect to egg-stract an egg-stortionate price for that little hens poop.
Now I'm egg-sausted so that's all yolks:whistling:

Yeah I know! I'm off to take another pill:bwink:

Very nice Paul, what size drill did you use?:thumbs::thumbs:
Got some kits hiding in the shed.

I used a 13/16ths forstner bit.

The kit came from Rizheng and cost about £5 after import tax

Can't post a link from iPhone for some reason :(

Install jre (java runtime environment) should cure that and all sorts of other issues mac has with interweb smiley etc.
It might even help Alex with his spolling init.
