    If you can pull the drill bit in and out that easily then it needs to be tightened so it doesn’t wobble around…. or fall out 😊

    Hey! Which part are you referring to? Nothing is wobbly right now, but if I can tighten something then that would be good to know!

    @@monika.mitchell Oh, no, I mean when you were putting the drill bit in the drill. When you were in the garage. You slid it out and back in. Didn’t look like the bit was tightened. But maybe that was taken care of off camera or something. I just saw that part and you were saying while you were first drilling that it was wobbly trying to drill it in. So I just thought maybe the bit wasn’t tightened. 🙃

    HI ! What size was the diamond drill bit you used here?

  • @monika.mitchell

    Hi! I used the 10mm, but honestly would go down in size so the hole is a little closer around the cord (just for purely aesthetic reasons lol).
