				| Used the drill press to drill the pipe counterbalance holes
 I used my spring loaded punch to establish the hole for the drilling. I made this wooden "V" block to prevent the pipe from turning on me while drilling. I put some boelube on the drill bit and drilled the holes "really slow". I noticed the 1/8" bit tended to bend and "wander" off the pre-punched mark when I put too much pressure on the drill press.
