Subject: The drill press thing.

My apologies, Frosty, by saying "have a hold of it" I meant with
tools, guess that was a bit of shorthand that didn't belong here.  Must
learn to be less arrogant about my experiences.  My sincere thanks for
putting it straight.  I usually hold short sections in a vise, and thin
sections with a vise grip on the left edge, with the stock extending
past the joint, that way, if it does pinch, all of the force can be
controlled.  A larger press, eg: more power, obviates clamps to the 
table and a large vise, also clamped.
  I will think through my tips more thoroughly.
  Thanks for bringing me up short, this old kid needed that.
  Bob

No apology necessary Bob, I wasn't targeting you. I've been guilty of 
the same thing more than once and have the scars to prove it. The worst 
is when someone mimics something they've seen me do or takes an off-hand 
statement as good advice and gets hurt. It's a bad feeling and I'd save 
anyone from it if I can.

Regards,
	Frosty
