BREAK IT TIL YOU MAKE IT!
Thank you!
Finally! I found the guy that does the voice for all those videos. Here I thought it was a computer generated voice.
this helps SO much. i feel like so many woodworking tutorials ask you to acquire a ton of expensive and large pieces of equipment, both of which i can’t house in my small 2 bed apartment. but this is so reasonable and works so well.
I use a small plastic mirror, with a clearance hole drilled through the centre. Place mirror on workpiece. Drill workpiece through the hole! If drill is not perpendicular then drill and its reflection will look bent. Just line up the drill with its own reflection and then start drilling.
Can you make a video of this? It'll be much easier seen than read bro, and it sounds genius tbh

Popular Mechanics suggests using an old CD as a mirror.
@@GeezerTuber Oh, now that, that's clever
@@santiagocortez9554You can use a compact disk
That actually makes a lot of sense so I might give that a try in the future. I just put on handles on my wall cabinets that required making two holes per door; they came out great but certain holes were a little slanted so I had to widen them a little so the screws straighten out. This will save me a lot of time once the counter tops come in and I can finally put in the base cabinets doors.
This was EXACTLY what I was looking for. Thank you.
Brilliant!!!!! This was the first result in my search and couldn't have been better. Thank you so much!
You're making a tool to make your holes perfect without making the tool perfect... MADNESS!
Thanks for this. As a new woodworker making this is a good exercise too.
Thank you, that is so simple.
Very accurate and affordable method! It helps me a lot!
Saves me money on not haven't to buy a radial drill press on large items that wont fit on my current table top drill press! THANK YOU!
Nice tool. Probably the cheapest one I found around. Easy to make and 99% reliable.
Brother, that is brilliant! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!
Ahhh! Nice. I wasn't sure if there was a technique to drill a straight hole without a press other than practice, so I Googled it and found your video. Thanks!
Great vid, very, very worthwhile
info and so simple.
I use a drill guide to make a hole in a short piece of 2x2 scrap and use that as my portable jig. The drill guide also lets you drill at angles to make angle drilling jigs that can be clamped to your work for cutting pocket holes and the like.
Excellent content and so well delivered, thank you.
What a good idea. Simple and effective. Next time I have some ply handy this is my next little project
Simple But GREAT... Thank You...!!!
Absolutely brilliant! Thankyou for sharing this!
Absolutely brilliant!! I've never been able to drill a straight through hole no matter how hard I try! Problem solved!!!! Love all of your great tips!!!
The video editing is top-notch! Kudos for that!
Now thats the way to do it,TY very much .Learn something new every day .
Brilliant! Thanks.
This is awesome! Thanks!
Just what I needed :)
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot !
marvelous idea
You make it so simple. I wish all tutorial are like this.
This is a great concept. I have a drill guide block but my latest project has an odd sized drill. Now I know how to make a custom one off jig!
Works a charm, much easier, cheaper and more effective than anything else I've tried.
Thank you for this.
Awesome !
Just the video I was looking for.
This is the video I was looking for a long time!!!
This will sound a bit exotic but this tip is for those viewers that have a palm router with plunge base. With a plunge type spiral bit, you can effectively drill holes perpendicular on any size work piece so long as you can reach it. Pretty sure there are cordless routers if you don’t want to be tethered to a power cord and would be very portable . Just a thought.
I have a small router and your solution is so obvious and perfect for my current project that I am kicking myself for not thinking of it myself. Thanks.
Great tip. I need to be able to accurately drill the edges of boards for dowels for a custom-built storage unit soI'm going to use your tip to drill the perpendicular holes through the pkywood pieces shown in the video to make a jig for situations when a router is too cumbersome to use.
This sort of stuff is gold. I came for the video but I always read through the comments and left with a great tip like this. I have a router which will now be put to a new great use! Thanks!
awesome~!!! :)
This guy is brilliant...Cheap simple solution for big problem.
Hey thanks for sharing, it would be helpful if you share how do you make deeper straight 1” holes?
I love it... simple enough for me to do....Thanks
This is brilliant 👍 Thanks 🙏
Excellent
show de bola!UM dos melhores ja vistos; Greetings from Brazil
Hah! GENIUS! Thank you, I will do this! 👍🏼
Creative, clever. Thanks.
WELL --THANKYOU --ITS very useful --well done !
Thanks man!!!!!!
Excellent idea
Just found your channel. Brilliant.
Nice video its realy informative
Hi, thanks for your video-hint! I have to drill a vertical log horizontally, but the surface is not regular... Do you have any suggestion? the drill bit is 22mm x 500mm, and the log is about 400mm diameter. thanks a lot
Very interesting. Subscribed to videos with value. Thanks.
like your vids, please make more!
Thank you, your support means a lot to me. I really enjoy making the videos and I'm working hard to find a way to get them out quicker.
You are Brilliant
Your intro scared the crap out of me. I'm watching this in my truck with my powerful subwoofer. lol 🤣🤣🤣
Absolutely genius.
What a delightful video
Thanks for sharing.. Simple yet brilliant. These kind of jigs are so expensive to buy
Cool!!!
Nice.
That's really cool
I like the concept of using multiple pieces glued together to make a hole jig. Could make a jig for different size holes using the same concept. Was planning of making holes to hold coins for different types of wooden cell phone stands of various sizes. I would have used a drill bit the size of the holes inserted into the holes of all the cut pieces before glueing all the small pieces together. Other than that it was a good idea.
Finaly someone advice how to make jig for straight drilling without drill press
Aren't the postings of how to do it with a mechanism that you have to buy and attach it to the drill aggravating
I'm gonna try and save a step using peg board
@@bp8067 im gonna try and save all that cutting and 3d print several of these at various hole sizes.
imagine a 6x1x1 inch block with holes every inch of various standard drill sizes
The question now if lining the drill up against something flat on the side would be better if I don't even have spare timber?
very cool
That's a pretty nice solution when the required hole is shallow relative to the length of the drill bit. But - what do you recommend if the hole depth is comparable to the length of the bit?
I usually use some scrap 4x4 posts. Cut 2 pieces perfectly square (on the ends) with a miter saw, about 6” long each. Then lay the blocks flat at right angles to one another, so that the inside corner that is formed is where your desired hole will be.
When you align the bit into the corner of the two pieces of wood, and the wood is flat against the drilling surface, then you know that the bit is straight in the X and Y directions.
If that doesn’t make sense I can take a photo. Honestly the method in this video is ridiculously complicated compared to the two 4x4 block method.
Edit: check this video at 3:30 mark: th-cam.com/video/IxpRhtPejJs/w-d-xo.html
It’s basically the same concept, except this guy cut a single piece of wood to contain a 90 deg angle instead of butting two 4x4 blocks against one another (or smaller wood if your bit is less than 3.5” long)
This is so simple yet so effective
Very very good
Could I use this idea for drilling straight holes in an overhead surface, like a ceiling or cross beam?
Woodworking without a saw! Good jig. Have not seen this before in my 70 years. However, every woodworker should endeavor to own a decent drill press. Thanks.
Thanks for your comment. I totally agree, in the long term any maker should acquire a decent tool collection.
@@cosador But, a counter argument: I am restoring a wooden boat at present, and there are zero straight bits of timber in it-so a tiny jig like this is perfect. 95% of the time, I simply could not use a drill press on board, because there's not enough space to use one. Two thumbs up from me.
I have problems drilling vertically into concrete floor. After drilling, I insert stainless steel shaft (about 3" long and 8mm diam). Most times the shafts are at a slight angle and can be problematic for my work.
Brill!
Thanks.
Any recommendations on how to drill straight on a surface that is NOT flat??? ....i need to drill a hole in my oil pump to tap and install a thread insert for the tensioner to be torqued down to specification..... And i need to do this while it's on the engin coz it's too much effort to remove the oil pump
Very clever. 👍👍
Clever.
I will try it
Drill bushings and egg cups work great.
How would you still center along axis of a dowel without drill press or lathe?
Brilliant! This has solved a DIY task and saved me £30 quid...thanks a lot!
Clever
Wouldn't the bit bore the hole out as you used it?
will it be straight in alignment on the bottom? as the top?
Remember guys " Break it till you make it !! " :)
Thanks a lot for this! I have used a drill press before (rented) but am not ready yet to buy one. This approach is the one I am going to use for those few straight holes I need.
Damn this is smart
I would suggest use even thinner material, laid up in more layers. At 1mm thick per jig layer, there is far less likelihood of each hole being skewed. This will reduce the accumulation of error.
I learned somethingg today.
clever
Could have used Metal Tube in the Build for the first hole size & inserted other close fitting tubes for smaller sized holes (reducing the number of Jigs you'd have make) OK, quite limited given tube sizes available, but should be good for 2 or 3 other sizes ??
Дуже гарна ідея.
I´ll try it ¡¡
Hi it's a fantastic good idea and with the use of cheap tools , so many videos on here have been made with expensive machinery which to me is ironic. But because your idea is of wood won't the hole wear out after a few goes because u take some of the wood as you still.
Timber does wear out but metal does too, however the methodology with making both is not that different. Thank you for your comment.
@@cosador thanks for the reply, its a good angle you have taken - make cost effect solutions with low cost tools :)
I think the idea behind this is that it's fast, cheap, and easy, so you can use it until it's out of spec, then make another.
That way, all you're losing is scrap MDF, not wearing down a more expensive jig.

If you want to know how to make it yourself, just look for woodprix.
Perfect tip I think
Any tips on how to apply this to a round piece of wood ?
j1g2w3 I actually need the same thing
Would you happen to know how to lathe something without a lathe machine?
Spiffy - thanks
I had done the same thing with paint sticks. But im trying to drill directly down the middle of a wooden rod.
Problem starts when you use a smaller bit (may not be accurate) or a bigger bit (will not fit). Unless you make a jig for every bit size.
