By the way, Lithium

Thought I would blog it here... Recently my 5 yr old green Bosch cordless drill burned, was a good piece of equipment but its time had come. Not that I once bought it for the this boat project but still, it was much used here. So I was in the market for a new one.
Was looking for a nice deal with double NiCd or NiMH batteries but anything of brand was in the region of 50 lats anyway. Then I recalled trying a small-form LiON cordless drill-driver and being very impressed.

Looked at that segment, and, voila, there it was - cheapest of the brand things - the Skil 2321 AA 10.8V LiON, one battery only but comes with 1 hour charger, can be charged anytime, no memory effect, nothing. The torque is surprisingly good. You do not feel the absence of the "counterweight" at all! During the port front side planking drilled about 80 holes (in plywood), screwed about 80 screws (20mm), then few more longer screws here and there but the battery showed no sign of getting low. A very good investment, me like very much!
The expense of LVL 40 is added to this project expenses as much of this tool will be used up in the boat shop.

Finally, the port side panel is there!

Took about 4 hours today and finally jumped this hurdle! This side/front attachment has been holding me back for half a year or so. Now I expect the things to move ahead faster.
