In fairness the story is about saving the world as we know it, vs telling the story of a bitter old Wizard doing a remodel project way high up in his tower. That would be a funny skit, Sauron, the greatest wizard ever, keeps messing up building a pedestal for his seeing orb thingy, and it keeps breaking and his orb falls and hits the ground, then it rolls, he can't find it, but the other orbs can see what he is doing. Then he later he's shown singing Taylor Swift, that footage is recorded via the other orbs, then its used to bribe Sauron into giving up the ring of power. Wow that went off the rails quickly.

I noticed the moments of what I'll call wobbulating when you're using the forstner bits. (rotating the axis of the drill bit in tiny circles) I'm going to try to remember that -- I've developed a bad habit of only using the drill press when drilling with forstners, since going whole-hog at once (using the regular power drill) can result in some unpleasant tear-out. Seems like that technique of yours fixes that problem, and I won't have to spend extra time setting up the drill press. Great vid as always. Thanks!
