Number seven in the Project Egress series has me going for the finish in a very time intensive way - hand finishing all the parts and getting the fit of all the components correct. Some unexpected snags had me spending days making adjustments painstakingly by hand. Almost there... stay tuned for the conclusion in number eight!

drifting drills are a hassle! You can use a 'short flute' drill bit, or aptly named 'hole starting bit', which helps. Also a drill point countersink for lathes work, which come in different diameters. I use the to start holes.
Hey Fran, I have to say you are very talented. When I started watching your contribution I would have bet the end result of your labor wouldn't be much. Boy was I wrong. The portion of the project you fabricated is both utilitarian and a beautiful work of art. I also have to compliment you on your patience and tenacity. Good job. I'm in awe…
There are drill bits that don't have that 120° tip, they're flat, they're used for machining in general,
that could prevent the drill from following the wood.
Or maybe these special metal sheet drill bits can be used, as these take the material from the outside first.

I invite everyone to watch all the other Makers who contributed to this project… and notice the difference between their videos on this build and this one :-((
And Yes, I would sit thru and watch you do the Work Hours and Hours Worth, be good watching I have not Been Sleeping much So, I need to get you some Boise Cascade Tee Shirts 'Got Wood' shirt..
You talked about Doing something with wood and a Piano, Hows a 1914-1920 Baby Grand Piano, A Rare One at that..
( MERRILL ) info unobtainable 'tink i spelled it right' it needs as safe place and love of Being restoring
Be Happy it my 100,000 View Gift to you if you Want it..I want you to do Your Special Touch Video's, I love them, And your Quirk is Wood, And My Fathers Quirk Was wood I loved helping him work on the Wood, But I am more Heavy Duty Electronic / Electrical, Now I have you to watch..He Passed on July 6th last week..(-sigh- cry's )
I really loved the explanation of how you drilled the small holes
Have you done anything with single board conputers? I just started getting into Raspberry Pi stuff and would love to see what kind of unique projects you can come up with.
Absolutely fabulous engineering chops, a beautiful end product and thorough documentation make this an award-worthy contribution to YouTube. Very guzey!
Lessons learned, and what a wonderful job you've done. I'm proud of you. 🙂
That is some beautiful woodwork there. Can tell a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and love went into that.
Mighty fine. Worry not about less or lack of video. The stills do a lot of talking.
🙂 I like that you add in all the trauma and difficulties. Its better than maker videos edited to make it look like the process was easy and perfect
Fran Patronage! – Best way to spend a buck – or two…
I hope the people who lazily pressed print on their 3D printers then popped the result in the mail feel bad when their half assed effort is installed next to your piece of art made with love, care, thought and a lot of effort. Very impressive Fran.
Fran you walk the talk for sure, well done for sure.
Thanks for letting us tag along on your journey. Your part is coming along nicely. I've seen one person who made their part by metal casting and another person used 3D printing. Your part of the project is being done in the true NASA tradition. You are having to make the tools you need in order to make the parts. The one part of the NASA tradition is to not go over budget or over time. 🙂
