Default Making Brass Prop Supports


My first few tries drilling Brass did not go well, so I invested in a Drill Press and new drill bits. I got 118 degree drill bits and filed off the curl. Set the Drill press to it's lowest speed, and I got nice clean holes!



I used a countersink bit to make a clean screw location. These will get evened up in length next and installed.
