    Nice adaptation!!! I’m trying to do the same for 6 foot closet rods in order to install 1/4-20 screw inserts. Ideas?

      Sorry it took so long to get back. I was out of town for a few days. I have a sollution I think will work. I'll try it out and if it works, I'll make a video of it. I'll let you know when I post it.

    That's not gonna be exact. Eyeballing shit is NEVER one of the best ways to do it.

      You're right, but for most of what I need, this is more than good enough. It's well within normal wood tollerances. The shafts I made were pretty danged well ballanced. It's also something that requires very little time or math skills.

    Pretty gosh dang clever! Much better than having your buddy hold on tight while you wing it with a drill

      Especially if you've drilled holes in all your buddys' index fingers next to the top knuckle. Some of the dumber ones are good for a couple of accidents, but they all learn after a bit.

    Boys and girl 😅 Is that me? I think that’s me. In this moment anyway.

      Whatever you are at the moment, thanks for watching. More importantly, you have an amazing voice. It's not only beautiful, but very expressive. Sometimes the singer tells the story as well as the lyrics, if that makes any sense, and you do it very well.

    Dam bredda this is an absolute smart idea that actually makes sense and doesn’t overwhelm anyone’s skill level 🤙🏻

      Thanks for watching and for the comment. It helps me figure out what to do next. BTW, I looked at your channel and I have to say, the lizzard man (CS) gives me the willies.
