I never seen pieces of Hex material used as Spacers before - but the result is convincing

Get well soon Chris.
You were kind of lucy as it could have been much worse - but also rather unlucky that it happened in the first place.

Remember to exercise the parts the Doctors allowed you to flex, daily - you don't wanna get stiff or have a too long recovery .... we take long enough to 'Bounce Back' after mishaps as we grow older ....

Very happy to see new progress on this Amazing Project

I'm glad to see your progress 

But this episode has me question a few things ....
1)  We all know that a Drill-Bit can NOT drill a Round nor Straight Hole !!!!
2)  a Reamer can't correct the Errors from #1
3)  if a Straight Round Hole is needed - you will have to Bore it, with either a Boring Tool or a D-Bit.
3)  a Reamer Needs to Cut => 0.2-0.5mm. for a Hole around 6mm. - so why do you only Cut 0.05mm. ?

Or that is what I would have answered anybody asking me on how to do it .... have I got something wrong ?

Best wishes
