Awesome trade.

[@SparkyChannel]

Yes sir, it sure is!

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

Great commentary. This could have been a 1 hour show on DIY network or somewhere.

[@SparkyChannel]

Wow, thanks! I think I have videos on every step of this project. Hi Jeff!

[@HRConsultant_Jeff]

seems like tin snips would have been safer than trying to use the hole saw again, but as you said it would still not be a tight fit since the hole is oval (but at least it would have been safer).

[@SparkyChannel]

Yes, that is a good solution. At least it would keep him in the contest.

[@david84ss]

I know guys that could milk that 1 job for the whole week 😂

[@SparkyChannel]

LOL!

[@crookeddonald4761]

How do they select these apprentices to do this. Do they have to qualify somehow??

[@SparkyChannel]

Yes, they have qualifying rounds. To enter next year's competition: www.idealind.com/us/en/nationals-home-page.html?cid=pao56:cmn2011:mdm51:ent010:ent020:

To fix the mistake for the contest only he could have flipped the trough and told the judges why.

[@SparkyChannel]

Interesting. I hadn't thought of that one.
