When I was about 4yrs old, I had a pedal tractor and after watching my Dad do some rolling, I wanted a roller also. I found a suitable round empty 5 gallon oil drum and begged both my Uncle and my Dad to drill a hole in each end. This begging went on for about a week until one evening I noticed a suitable drill bit left in the hand held electric drill. So I got it plugged in and thought "this is my chance" Well you can imagine what happened once the drill got nearly through the tin....That's right it jammed and the drill was wrung out of my hands, giving me a nasty twist. but the drill switch had locked on and continued to turn until it eventually pulled the plug out of the wall socket! I had to untwist the lead and nurse my sore wrists. I eventually managed to punch the two holes and get a piece of wire through the ends of the drum and attached to my tractor. When My dad saw what I had managed to do he took pity on me and when he had the crop all in he fixed up a frame out of flat bar for me. That roller with a few small stones inside made just as much noise on our concrete yard as the real one and created many hours of make-believe farming, but to this day every time I lift the hand drill I think of that first time with a slight bit of fear of the drill bit sticking!!
