Things my drill press reminded me of this morning:
- Acrylic is flexible
- Acrylic is sharp
- Drill bit ≠ counter sink
- CLAMP DOWN YOUR WORK PIECES!!

@forty2@oldbytes.space Sorry to see that… I adopted a process of always wearing leather gloves while working with ANY power tools (especially drills). This has certainly saved me several times. Also, I have some dull bits that I use (by hand) to take the burrs/edges off of freshly drilled holes. Can make a countersink in acrylic by hand with a little time and patience. Hope your project turns out well! (And fingers heal soonest!) #ClampDownWork #WearGloves #SafetyFirst
