Well,
I finally was able to get into the shop and start working on a couple pens......
I was drilling some Acrylic blanks from Ernie at Beartooth Woods, when I guess I had a lapse in concentration. [:I] (No injury to me!!)
I was having issues with shavings getting stuck to the drill bit just below the chuck, so I was using a piece of scrap wood to knock them off... Anyway, I guess I left the bit in the blank too long and I got the blank STUCK ON THE BIT!!!!! [:0][:0]
Oh CRAP!! Now what???
I took the bit out of the drill press and the blank was STUCK!!!!!!!!!
I tried heating the bit with a torch to see if that would release the blank. NO GO!!!
So I had to cut it with a hack saw...
Its FREE!!!!!
1 half blank is toast.... The other half will make a Sierra, instead of the Euro it was supposed to be.... Half a save....[^]
