Step 1:
Make sure the cord is long enough to reach from the electrical outlet to the place where you plan to use the drill.

Step 2:
Use the chuck key that comes with the drill to open the chuck. Do this by pushing the nubbed end of the key into a hole along the chuck and twisting counterclockwise. The teeth on the chuck key should engage the ones on the drill.

Step 3:
Insert the a small drill bit into the chuck and tighten it with the chuck key, turning it clockwise this time. Be sure it's very snug.

Step 4:
Plug the drill in.

Step 5:
Press the trigger before you make contact with the work.

Step 6:
Slowly touch the tip of the bit to the work and apply steady but light pressure.

Step 7:
Maintain the pressure on the drill and the trigger until the hole is completed.

Step 8:
Keep the trigger depressed as you slowly back the bit out of the hole.

Step 9:
Place a square bit in the drill by doing step 3 in reverse before redoing it with the square bit.

Step 10:
Screw the pieces together... maybe add some glue??

ahah

Maybe you need to trade for something you are good at.

I agree, I am trying to figure what I can offer that is not illegal or immoral.
Well I don't mind immoral so much...

Man do I want to throw some really big thanks out to 04scoobysti. He was over here for about an hour and turned a pile of limber into a usable stand for my mom.
She is really happy with it. Just need to slap a coat on paint on it and it will go from the DIY to Tank Journal in no time.

So once again. Thank you very much.
