I'm at the Rivoli ballroom!
With my own wife!
It's a 70's/80's Disco/Funk party.
Fabulous!

SDS drills are a (small) subset of hammer drills. They have a special fitting rather than a normal chuck, and are incompatible with normal cylindrical drill bits.
With rotation disengaged, you've basically got a mini Kango or jackhammer.

Ah... Worktops...

This is my (rather expensive) Trend Router, which in its entire life has been used for just one set of kitchen worktops...

I had to read this several times before I spotted this... 🤣

Job done...

So far, so good...

Nice weather for a grand day out...

So far, so good...

I claim no excuse, but I don't think BSky served me well here...

WE'RE GOING TO WEMBLEY!

So far, so good...

Packed out here tonight- feeling a bit claustrophobic...

Although I'm going to have to give some thought to the cable management...
(It's not a glass sided case, but if they're not tidy inside - I WILL KNOW...)

Coming along nicely...

So...
Got the day off. Beautiful day outside. What to do?
Yes, of course... build a computer.

A grand day out...

Yes I've had this problem twice recently. The cheap cast alloy cam breaks.
You need to find or make a suitable tool to hook behind the bolt and pull it towards you.
The bolt is spring loaded.
Fortunately it looks like you've got plenty of space above & below the bolt.

After dry Gujerat, I'm now in the veritable oasis of Rajasthan.
Enjoying a nice G&T.
Jodhpur gin, obviously.

Guess where I am?

A Butt is 477 litres...
So that could be quite a challenge
