Gary, thanks for the post and advice. I can’t help thinking some things are obvious BUT I never think of them. Using a pen or pencil to check for the centre for instance I just didn’t think of it.
A starter hole again I haven’t done.
I’m glad I’m starting on relatively cheap pen sets & practicing drilling & turning on cheap builders waste etc.
Still, for all the mistakes it’s a learning curve and loving it.

[QUOTE="CGS01, post: 373422, member: 5811"] Gary, thanks for the post and advice. I can’t help thinking some things are obvious BUT I never think of them. Using a pen or pencil to check for the centre for instance I just didn’t think of it. 😂😂 A starter hole again I haven’t done. I’m glad I’m starting on relatively cheap pen sets & practicing drilling & turning on cheap builders waste etc. Still, for all the mistakes it’s a learning curve and loving it. 👍👍 [/QUOTE]
