Well, here we are, down in the Skunk Works makin, well, what exactly?????

Like I always say, if you have to make something, it usually doesn't take a whole lot more time to make lots. 8)

Who can figure out what these are gonna be, my guess is, Rocky would have most chance of getting this one. The marked out one at bottom right is a clue, and, the scribe line down the middle is significant.



Always very important to get them properly set up and well clamped in a good machine vise for drilling.



Nice big center pops to acurately locate the drill bit.



Don't do this at home, I'm holding the camera in my left hand, feeding the dril with my right, and snapping the shot with me right hand thumb. Pretty clever Eh!l

Don't forget, use a nice sharp drill, especially when drilling thin metal stacked together like this. If you use a not too sharp drill, every time the drill passes through a plate, it will raise a burr. This burr, will try and push the plates apart(upwards), and, possibly loosen the stack, and, if not flinging the parts all over the place, and breaking the drill bit, will certainly lose some accuracy. Also, use proper cutting fluid, especially on brass, which can be very sticky and gummy to drill.



There's the finished job, 14 plates with 4 acurately drilled holes, and, I only had to mark out one of them.
