Picked me up a new toy this morning at HD, Ryobi 10" Drill Press. $99, 10% off for Military ID Holders, so $90 and change out the door.
I got it because I wanted to make a chip display for some of my chips that have been hiding away in my closet. Here is a very rough draft of what I am thinking about doing.
Using a 40MM Forstner Bit from MLCS, I made some holes, sprayed some 3M77, and then covered it with some leftover SSC. Cut some stars in the holes and pressed the chips in place.
The chips are held in place and will not fall out even if tipped upside down.
Here is a closeup shot that looks pretty sweet. I used Chipco and Paulson chips here...
