You want to know all about photo encaustic. You love photography and want to put more of yourself into your work. You want to have fun exploring your images while being more hands-on. I love that too. That is what drew me to photo encaustic. That and the way the light pulls me into the image.
I would like to know why 118 degrees made the standard tip angle for a drill bit.Or for that matter, 135 degrees? 1. Is there anything called standard tip angle? 2. What factors determine the choice of the tip angle? P.S: I posted the same question in Aerospace forum : http://www.eng-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=347077
Use a small center punch in the center of your element position marks for starting the drill bit. Drill one side at a time and don't attempt to drill both at once..this is the key to drilling the holes without using a drill press or drill guide in tubing that yields you holes that are 180 degrees apart!80 degree protractor on left....360 degree version on right. (not to scale). Now since tubing is usually a perfect 360 degree circle when viewed from the end, you want to be able to find a way to mark both sides of it for the Yagi antenna element holes we are using in this example that you want to drill.
