The neck posed a slight complication. It's not flat when it's laying on its face as it needs to be in order to drill the pilot holes.

I stepped away to consider. And pee. And eat something. Amanda's flight got delayed 45 minutes, so I had the time to finish before I had to go pick her up from PHL.

Saw some skewers while I was in the kitchen.



Improvised a kind of sled. Just taped them to the edges trying to keep the thing flat and stable for drilling.

I'll hang on to them. That worked well.


All holes drilled, let's do this. Because I'm a gentleman, I use lubrication for the first time I penetrate its body.

Stated them with my trusty genuine Snap On #2 Phillips carbide tipped driver. Ran the middle down with the Dewalt and took them home by hand, gently and lovingly.
