The Desk That Ate My Drill Bit
December 7th, 2005
This gives me hope:)

“(or, “Creating the Perfect IKEA work area”)
Time: About 4 Hours
Drill Bits Lost: 1
Pain Today: Immeasurable
…When I had some more drill power, I realized that IKEA now pre-drills the holes,
but for a different-sized attachment!…
So, I ended up drilling the
holes myself, breaking a drill bit in the process, and driving the screws by
hand (my drill had run out of power, and the screws were already stripped from
the last tabletop). In the end, I’m pretty happy with the result…”
