[Elecraft] K2 Balun Enclosure and drilling Altoid tins

[thom2 at att.net]

I haven't tried this myself yet, but I've read it somewhere --- 

  To drill holes in the Altoid tins, fill the tin with water and freeze it.  Then you will have a solid backing when you drill.  

  Give it a shot, worst case you mess up the tin and you get to eat more mints.
