Project Ideas

Business

Minimalist Pegboard Panels

Produce and sell plywood wall panels with a 1/4-inch hole grid as a sleek pegboard alternative, bundled with dowel pegs and shelf brackets. The hex shank and chip-clearing channel make high-volume, repeatable hole grids fast and clean.


Desk Cable Pass‑Through Service

Offer on-site drilling of discreet cable pass‑throughs in desks, cabinets, and media consoles, then use the bit’s hang hole to pull cords neatly through. Market to home offices and studios for tidy setups without replacing furniture.


DIY Hanging Shelf/Wind Chime Kits

Sell kits with pre‑drilled boards, cord, and hardware for macramé shelves or wind chimes. Clean hole edges from the cutting spurs elevate perceived quality, and consistent hole sizing reduces customer assembly issues.


Garden Planter Boxes with Drainage

Build rustic planters and drill uniform 1/4-inch drainage holes that won’t clog easily. The Extreme Speed Channel speeds production while keeping holes clear, enabling profitable small-batch runs for farmers’ markets or local nurseries.


Pollinator Block Product Line

Create and sell mason bee blocks drilled at consistent depths. The long, heat‑treated shank resists deflection for straight, deep channels. Offer seasonal subscriptions and education cards to garden centers and eco‑shops.

Creative

Modern Peg Rack

Drill a clean row of 1/4-inch holes into a hardwood board to press-fit 1/4-inch dowel pegs for coats, mugs, or tools. The cutting spurs give crisp hole edges for a polished look, and the hex shank lets you zip through a straight, repeatable layout with a quick-change driver.


Macramé Hanging Shelf

Make a floating shelf by drilling four corner holes in a board and threading cord or paracord. The Extreme Speed Channel clears chips fast so corner holes stay clean, and the long shank helps keep holes perpendicular for a level hang.


Driftwood Wind Chime

Collect driftwood or branches, then drill 1/4-inch pass-through holes to string line or wire. The heat-treated shank resists bending when drilling at odd angles, and the cutting spurs leave neat entry holes that look intentional rather than ‘drilled’.


Grid Trellis Panel

Create a minimalist garden trellis by drilling a grid of holes in frame rails and press-fitting 1/4-inch dowels or bamboo skewers. The quick-change hex shank speeds repetitive drilling, and the clean hole rims reduce splitting when inserting rods.


Mason Bee Habitat Block

Drill deep 1/4-inch holes into hardwood offcuts for a pollinator ‘bee hotel.’ The 6-inch length allows deep, consistent cavities, and the spurs produce tidy entrances. Lightly sand the hole edges afterward for bee safety.
