Next we are ready to drill the holes for the posts. I was intrigued by a similar post I saw where the guy had a cheap “drill press”. Whereas I have a large press I bought this $19 “press” from harbor freight. Well… after I removed about 0.04” material from one of the adjustable arm flanges so it would slide freely top-to-bottom without binding, it was liveable but I would not recommend this route unless you didn’t know anyone with a press you could use. I mean, they’re kind of handy but they are really only a guide because they are so flimsy. I strongly recommend drilling these holes in a few stages i.e. start with a small – very small bit to ensure your hole is dead on. Then drill with a larger bit that will follow the other hole as a pilot. Work your way up to your desired size. This was ½”.
