Creative
Tea‑Light Candle Block
Mill a hardwood block and use a 1-1/8 in. hole saw to drill shallow recesses for tea lights. The variable speed makes it easy to control depth and avoid burning, and the keyless chuck speeds bit swaps between pilot bit and hole saw. Finish with oil or wax for a warm glow.
Desk Pencil/Brush Caddy
Drill a clean grid of holes in a wood block using spade and twist bits ranging from 1/4 in. to 3/4 in. to hold pens, markers, and brushes. Use painter’s tape as a depth guide and the reversible function to back out cleanly from tight grain. Add rubber feet or a cork base.

Cut wheel blanks by collecting the plugs from a 1-1/8 in. hole saw, then drill centered axle holes with a 3/16 in. twist bit. Shape a simple car body from a pine offcut and drill precise axle passages. Sand, paint, and assemble with dowels as axles for a charming handmade toy.
Metal and Wood Wind Chimes
Drill small holes (1/8–3/16 in.) in aluminum or thin steel tubes for hang points, and matching holes in a wooden top disk. The 0–2,500 rpm control helps prevent grabbing in metal; deburr edges and string with nylon line. Tune lengths for different tones and add a wooden clapper.
