Spent what seemed like monthes of my life as an apprentice using a fly press to make holes like that. Simple tooling and every time it punched through I had to wrestle the steel sheet off it. And me only weighing about eight stone at the time with the upper body strength of a three year old! :)

The hole part aint so bad Trev, you could perhaps form a club with Andy! ;D..but not sure about the tree hiding, look what happened to Red Riding Hood, can't be too careful, so best give that part a misss, unless your related to David Attenborough mebee......................

I used to hide behind trees a lot when I had a dog, but have no reason to do so since the dog died.

RIP dog!
