fitting some downlights in my office today as electrician coming tomorrow to start on the wiring.
realise i dont have the right size hole saw so go buy 76mm one.
first hole cuts well. am cutting them into bottom of ply bulkhead from underside so awkward to hold. second of the 5 holes the holesaw grabs the ply and bucks, fucks my wrist and the drill somersaults out of my hand and avoids smashing the window purely because i added a backsplash panel to stop things falling off the back into the window bay and the drill caught that first. hurt like fuck but managed to get all of the holes done. stupidly i know that holesaws are bad for kickback but it was filed away in a long-term storage part of my brain or else i'd have remembered to not be a twat and run the drill at full rpm.
sharp pain when i move it certain ways along the tendons running from hand to wrist on the pinky finger side. hoping it's only a sprain and not a fracture so will put a brace on it and see how i go.
so glad it was literally the last job before the electrician takes over.
