How Many Chucks Would A Woodchuck Chuck?

dougw Great question.

My favorite chuck is similar to the third one you showed.  I like using it for starter holes.  Power off, but manual on/in.  I can ruin stuff really fast with a powered tool.

My "go to" knife is the slightly larger exacto knife with a metal handle (maybe a cm in diameter).  After that, I go for my pocket knife.

I only have the standard small crafting glue gun, but I have a stack of index cards that I use as disposable place mats.  I also have a small bench with a slot in that holds the glue gun upside-down for when I'm letting it cool or not using it.  The index cards and the inverted stand... worth having.

Finally, you have a few taps.  My tap set is from Harbor Freight.  It's fine for plastic.  It rarely survives metal.  My kit is slowly getting upgraded - one broken tap at a time.  I also managed to break the tap handle.  Again, slow upgrades.  I have looked seriously at mini lathes and milling machines, but fine work is not in my repertoire right now.
