First update: I was so concerned to make a good impression, that I was feeling a little pressure. So I marked the outside limits of a needed hole in a railing for the installation and promptly drill right down the center of the mark, instead of to the outside. Not problem, grind out, plug weld and clean up. Next day, I go to redrill the hole. So what do I do? I very carefully mark the bar exactly where the hole is going. Drill it out and then realized that I drilled to the WRONG side :-( Mr. Gavin was not amused. They were however, my only mistakes. I drilled and tapped at least another hundred holes spot on! When the railings are ready for installation, I'll take photos and post (asking first of course)
