Life on the go

New Toy

New Toy - I decided to use recovered wood for the facia on the Teddy Bear Unit to give it a nice look 'From the Front'. Not sure what wood it is but I know its not 'standard pine / spruce' you get from typical DIY outlets. Its a nice light wood and it should finish up nice (once I learn how to do that). I have had the wood ready to do something with for a number of years. It was my middle size daughters Futon Bed made up from two different tones of 'Hard Wood'. Unfortunately there where two 10mm holes just where I did not want them. I investigated on YouTube and found I needed  'Wood Drill Cutter Drill Bits' to make dowel pins out of the same wood, a bit like invisible mending. The Drill Set arrived yesterday and just before today lunch I gave the small bit a wiz and it seems to work just fine. Not sure why there are two different styles of Plug Cutter. It looks like the larger gives a bit of a taper.
