using snow to cool the bit

No wI know what it is like to drills holes in a blizzard. I work on the porch, but the snow is coming in sideways through the rafters. LOL Anywa, I drilled out all the struts, one side and I then went back and deburred them. Some may not think it is needed because it will be screwed together later, but I am not going to risk a nasty cut, so I spent the hour to deburr them.
I fixed the jig up with a bolt I grinded down to barely fit the hole. Oh, btw, it was 5/16th, not 3/16ths for the drill bit. duh!
I drilled out the first 80. the longest ones. I moved the entire jig rather than drilling a new hole and reset it to drill in the correct spot. (more pictures). I started the short ones, but I got mad cause of the cold and snow, so I stopped. Today I did snow removal. 2 to 4 feet. Took a few hours with a backhoe. Lots of snow. Then I had to work at my job believe it or not, for 6 hours. Now it is bedtime. Maybe the weekend.
