YEEESSSS! The swishy swish is back! Don't know why but I missed it. Great color choice has a really vintage look too it. Also agree with the wheel choice. Freaking perfect. Another great job

Lubrication is used when drilling as when drilling metals both the drill bit and metal being drilled heats up considerably. This can cause the metal being drilled to harden making it harder to drill through and causes more wear on the bit. Lubrication helps keep the metal cooler and to avoid the metal hardening. Drilling at a slower speed can also help avoid this happening.

I found a couple of tins, so I'm happy. It might have been fun to put the 'Trojan Records' logo on it - that is how the Reggae label got it's name - the founder used to carry records in a Trojan van, to the sound systems on the Island of Jamaica.

Looking good Rob 👍.
