I learned how to use a drill!
And all because of the speedbag!
Seriously, I own a nice Bosch drill that's had a lot of use, except NOT BY ME!
I admit I'm terrified of the thing and while I can do a bit of DIY stuff, never the DRILL.
However I really wanted to improve my speedball set up and there was no way round the drilling thing. I wanted to do it myself, so in a 'feel the fear and do it anyway' kind of thing I did it and have emerged triumphant!
Now, I KNOW you guys just won't relate to this but too bad - I am so proud of my efforts here is proof:
First I have bolted a new thicker drum to the existing brackets. It is from the 2nd hand fitbox platform a got awhile back. It involved drilling 4 new holes with countersinks.
Second I fitted a new swivel, a metal ball hook swivel in an everlast housing made by Fingers from a door knob. Fantastic! I love it.
Third, I double bagged my sand cos it kept springing leaks and finally:
Put up a ball rack and shelf (MORE drilling!!)
Board makeover!
