I must be really hard to drill a hole in some thing as it has taken 64 posts to tell me this, I must try it one day

lol, I didn't know what a can of worms I would be opening when I asked the question.

Hey Jimbo, Is it true that drill presses run counter clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere?

I know, Russ is going to kill me, but he's away right now!

Yeh rite only if you are upside down

I usually drill all mine then remember - RATS - forgot to put on the packing tape

[jimbo]

How about the pattern

For me it is wood, painters tape, pattern, drill holes, then if needed packing tape.

How do you see the holes if you put packing tape over them?

I have never used packing tape on the bottom and have had very good results with most all of my projects.  I do use painters tape on top beneight the pattern.  Here's a not to do thing.  Was out of painters tape and decided to use good ole maskin tape.  Well I wud guess that our temps. being over 90 everyday caused the tape to leave behind a bit of the sticky!  Was very upset, but over-all I say LIVE N LEARN.  Later....  Danny  :+}

That is what I use all the time, Masking tape.  The cheapest I can find.  Mineral Spirits or paint thinner will take off the sticky very nicely.  Use clear shipping over the pattern if it starts to smoke or smell like smoke.  Use a awl or a old round blade to pokes holes.

I just completed a JIGSAW puzzle with 84 pieces.  I used the last of the PAINTERS TAPE in two strips and that was all I had, so thats when I decided to finish with Maskin tape.  Well as I got down to the grand finalle and hit the two strips of Painters tape I DID NOT have any STICKYS underneith like I was having with the Maskin tape....SO....I shall ALWAYS USE THE PAINTERS TAPE.
Live n Learn, but I also learn Bukoos of things in this Forum.  Love It....
