Creative
Wall-Mounted Propagation Rack
Drill a row (or staggered rows) of 11/16 in holes through a 2x4 or hardwood plank to hold 16–17 mm glass test tubes for plant cuttings. The hole saw’s deeper design lets you drill cleanly through 2-by stock in one pass, and the plug-ejection slot speeds repetitive cuts. Add keyhole hangers on the back and a finish to create a minimalist living wall for cuttings.
Copper-Peg Key Holder
Use the hole saw to make 11/16 in pass-through holes in a board and epoxy short lengths of 1/2 in copper pipe (OD ~5/8 in) as pegs. The slightly oversized holes provide clearance for adhesive and alignment. Mount by the door for keys, lanyards, and small bags—mix wood species and patinated copper for a modern look.
Tube-Style Bird Feeder
Cut 11/16 in seed ports into a wooden or PVC tube and add small dowel perches below each port. The bi-metal teeth handle both plastic and thin metal accessories, and the tooth geometry helps clear chips in resinous woods. Cap the ends, add a hanger, and decorate for a custom backyard feeder.
Marble Solitaire Board
Create shallow 11/16 in recesses in a hardwood board to seat standard 5/8 in marbles. Drill partial-depth holes in a cross pattern; the pilot leaves a tiny center mark you can fill with a wood plug or conceal with finish. The result is a sleek, travel-size solitaire game with tight, repeatable pockets.
Test-Tube Spice or Sample Stand
Drill grids of 11/16 in holes through a 2x plank to hold 16–17 mm spice vials or craft samples (salts, teas, pigments). Add engraved labels along each row. The hole saw’s deep cut lets you create multi-tier stands with consistent spacing for a clean, apothecary vibe.
