Project Ideas
Business
Rustic Candleware Production Line
Produce and wholesale wooden tealight blocks, votive holders, and utensil caddies. Use the 1 in bit for candle recesses and the 3/4 in bit for utensil holes. The high-speed augers let you run cordless and efficient, increasing pieces per battery and lowering labor cost per unit for craft fairs and boutique wholesale.
TV/Shelf Cable Concealment Service
Offer flat-rate in-wall cable routing for wall-mounted TVs and floating shelves. Drill clean pass-throughs between studs and plates with the 3/4–1 in bits for HDMI and power kits. The reinforced tips handle the occasional drywall screw, and the 6.5 in length fits inside tight stud bays for tidy, same-day installs.
Deck & Railing Lighting Retrofits
Upsell deck clients on LED post-cap lights and under-rail lighting. Drill 5/8–3/4 in concealed wire pass-throughs in posts and rails, plus 3/4 in drainage holes in built-in planters. Fast chip removal speeds the job and reduces tear-out in treated lumber, improving margins on retrofit projects.
Van/RV/Tiny-Home Fit-Outs
Specialize in compact carpentry: drill 5/8–1 in pass-throughs for wiring, plumbing, and hardware in tight cabinetry and wall ribs. The short overall length and hex shank keep control in cramped spaces, while reinforced tips survive incidental fasteners in reclaimed framing common in tiny builds.
Custom Peg Racks & Mudroom Installs
Sell on-site or made-to-order peg racks, entry organizers, and shop tool boards. Rapidly drill rows of 5/8 in peg holes and 3/4–1 in accessory openings in hardwood or reclaimed beams. Market the ‘nail-tolerant’ reclaimed look; the bits’ durability against nail strikes keeps waste low and throughput high.
Creative
Staggered Tealight Centerpieces
Batch-make modern candle blocks by drilling 1 in recesses into reclaimed lumber or 4x4 offcuts. Use the 1 in auger to drill clean, flat-bottom recesses (stop short of through-holes), staggering depths and spacing for visual interest. Chamfer edges after drilling; finish with natural oil. The wide flutes keep chips clear, so you can produce multiple blocks quickly on a cordless drill.
Montessori Peg Board Toy
Lay out a grid and drill 5/8 in holes in a thick hardwood board for a tactile peg game. Make matching pegs from 5/8 in dowel with colored tops. Add a few 3/4 in holes for challenge spots and a 1 in storage hole for the included peg bag. The hex shank and high-speed design keep holes consistent and clean for tight, satisfying fits.
Reclaimed Beam Peg Rack
Turn a weathered beam or log slice into a coat/hat rack. Drill 5/8 in holes at a slight upward angle for dowel pegs and 3/4 in holes for larger hooks. The reinforced tips tolerate the occasional hidden nail in reclaimed stock, and the 6.5 in length reaches into irregular faces while keeping the drill compact in tight entryways.
Birdhouse Trio With Vent and Drain
Build three birdhouse styles from fence picket offcuts: drill 1 in entrance holes, 5/8 in floor drains, and 3/4 in side vents. The augers’ aggressive chip ejection keeps thin stock from clogging, and the clean holes reduce tear-out around entrances. Paint or burnish designs around the holes for personality.
Self-Watering Planter Boxes
Construct cedar planters with a hidden reservoir: drill 3/4 in overflow holes at a set height, multiple 5/8 in drainage holes in the false bottom, and a 1 in fill-tube opening. The bits’ compact length fits between slats and in corners, speeding repeatable layouts for a uniform, professional look.
