Showing some nice finds from the thrift store, and testing a method to tap workpieces in the drill press without having a spring-loaded centre.

The workpiece I test the tapping on isn't the best for this test. I considered tapping something else for this video, but I also found an interesting YouTube video which gave me an idea. Now this is a project and I have to make some parts for it.

I know I can just make a spring loaded centre, and be done with it, but what's the fun in that?
