With everyone else getting their R2s up on legs, I had to drill holes in R2-NU's frame for his legs. Everyone was using a 1 3/8" hole saw to cut the hole for the legs to pass through the frame wall, but they noted that the hole was a little big and there was a little play between the leg pipe and the wood. Moose noticed that even though the hole saw size matched the diameter of the pipe, the hole saw had some teeth that flared out making the hole a little bigger than we wanted. Moose put the 1 3/8" hole saw bit in the drill press, turned it on at a very low speed, and used a file to file off the outward angled teeth. GOOD THINKING MOOSE! This worked great...nice fit. After the holes were drilled, I dry fit the legs and started taking pictures.
