Hey, #Canberra! Wanna borrow my drill press?

I'm serious - I donated mine to Community Toolbox Canberra, and with an annual membership, you can now borrow it or hundreds of other useful things: https://communitytoolboxcbr.myturn.com/library/inventory/show/1313309

I needed to cut an IKEA benchtop in half, so instead of buying a circular saw for the one cut I'd ever need it to make in its life, I instead paid $99 to join (there are cheaper tiers based on ability to pay) and borrowed one and some sawhorses instead.

Why did I have a bench drill press to just give away? Because I bought it for a project to countersink some holes two or three times, and then it sat on a shelf in my garage for a couple of years. It's a very similar story for plenty of the stuff in the Toolbox, whose tagline is "you don't need a drill, you need a hole in the wall". If you're local and have the means, you should support them - one day you might like to countersink a hole or two, too. #Canberra
