[TowerTalk] Pinning a high carbon steel mast

[Barry]

Don't even think about using a cordless drill (I tried!)
I drilled mine on the tower using a drill attached to AC mains via 2 -
 100 ft extension cords with a carbide bit and cutting oil.  You may 
want to use masking tape around where your thrust bearing to prevent 
any metal shavings from getting in the track.
