I burned up a Black and Decker 1/4" drill doing that in 1985 when I did the first build on mine. I bought a compressor so I could run a 4" DA. Then got tired of waiting for the air to build and, when I got my shop, got a real compressor. Good to see the kid diving in, my grand son kind of petered out...

Re: My 1959 apache project

Yes hes a hard worker! Haha ive had drills burn out on me as well
