    The tool looks like a boring bar not a drill.

    It looks like he's currently reaming the holes, they were drilled in a previous step. So mark where you start so you don't redo the same holes all day.

    Well,I looked but didn't turn up one I expected to head the list. It's about 1955 from K&T itself, about 20 minutes. It's the only one that puts it through its paces, albeit a demo.
    The regular you-tubers playing with them pretty clueless what they are messing with. EVERY-body's a producer or net-star these days, credentials or where-with-all be damned.
