It amazes me just how wrong I can be about the relative position of the drill bit and my finger underneath the metal I am drilling into !

Owww! That made me cry lol Fortunately I got my finger out the way at the first sense the drill was about to go through it. But I still don't know how I could be so wrong about where it was.

Drill bit snapped the other day, the other 1/2 of the drill went through my thumb nail and thumb...top to bottom. Every project has builder DNA on it :>)
