Good one redlite 
I know it's frustrating Ross, but you are a craftsman and can fix your mistakes and will always learn from them I'm sure.
I have seen those kinds of jigs for sale all through my career and always resisted buying any of them. I make my own from scraps of hardwood and sometimes drill them out ahead of time on the drill press. I must have drilled tens of thousands of hardware holes in the past 40 years and made my share of mistakes, they can happen even with a jig if not paying attention. I have had to order replacement doors because of mis-measuring door and drawer front sizes plenty of times but never from mis-drilling hardware luckily as many times the hole can be tweaked and covered by the handle etc.
better luck next time |
The United States Constitution does not exist to grant you rights; those rights are inherent within you. Rather it exists to frame a limited government so that those natural rights can be exercised freely.
1984 was a warning, not a guidebook!
It's time more people spoke up with the truth. Every time we let a leftist lie go uncorrected, the commies get stronger.

It doesn't take much to be "#^&#^&#^&#^& by just an RCH and have to work at getting the thread to screw in straight from a buggered hole shot. The design of this one is not far off from being good. Just get aluminum instead of plastic for the body and to thread into. And then add an additional set of holes in line with the drill guide holes and fasten the handle to those holes. That would guarantee the correct distance between the holes... Then the only thing you could mess up is centering or height....
Today's "Really?" moment was installing new grab bars in an elderly couple's shower, toilet, and garage stairway. I ordered some 18'" and some 12" off of the river site... (I know) One 18" bar had been previously used!!!! Full refund via internet... This country, if not the world has just gone to chit.
I am assuming I dont have to translate "RCH"....

Funny expressions we use on the job....does the R stand for red...i know what the others are....and we dont use the acronym.
I just heard one the other day that made me laugh. Some guy was bitching and moaning to another guy...and that guys response was "Whats the matter ? Your vagina hurting today?" Crude and not politically correct but thats how weve always talked on construction sites. |
