DIY Drill Press

I made an electric drill press from a pair of old wardrobe door railings and some old wood.

The most important criteria should be that the drill rests snugly and in an upright position to give 90-degree drilling.

Simple lever handle move the drill up-and-down during drilling

Ensure the drill bit is at 90-degree angle before drilling





Elastic rubber strap holds the drill at a comfortable height




Anther piece of elastic strap holds the drill in place during drilling
