Project Ideas
Business
Door Lock & Hardware Install
Offer flat-rate installation of deadbolts, knobs, and smart locks using a door lock hole-saw kit. The 10 A motor and side handle provide control for large hole saws; reverse helps back out cleanly without tear-out.
Custom Shelving & Closet Installs
Provide on-site drilling for studs and steel brackets, precise pilot holes, and step-bit work in thin metal supports. Upsell floating shelves and French-cleat tool walls built in your shop.
Rain Barrel & Gutter Diverter Service
Retrofit downspouts with step-bit openings for diverters and bulkhead fittings. The variable-speed drill handles aluminum/galvanized sheet cleanly up to 1/2" openings; bundle service with barrel setup.
Small-Batch Home Goods
Produce and sell tea-light blocks, pegboard organizers, coat racks, and plant stands. The keyed chuck and torque-friendly side handle let you run larger Forstner and hole saws for efficient batch production.
Hands-On Build Workshops
Host paid classes where attendees build a wall clock or organizer. Use jigged stations and the VSR drill for safe, controlled drilling operations; monetize via tickets, sponsorships, and kit sales.
Creative
Live-Edge Wall Clock
Turn a slab into a clock by drilling a centered shaft hole and a shallow Forstner recess for the clock movement. The keyed 1/2" chuck grips larger Forstner bits securely, and the 0–1200 RPM range helps prevent burning in hardwoods.
Modular Pegboard Organizer
Build a plywood pegboard with a grid of clean holes for dowel pegs and custom accessories. Use spade or Forstner bits for the grid, a hole saw for accessory cups, and the side handle for control on larger cuts.
Steel-and-Wood Plant Stand
Create a modern stand using hardwood legs and steel flat-bar brackets. Drill precise dowel holes in the wood and use a step bit to add mounting holes in thin steel (up to 1/2" max in steel). The metal gear housing and side handle add stability.
Tea-Light Candle Blocks
Make giftable candle holders by drilling shallow, crisp 1.5" Forstner pockets in hardwood blocks. Variable speed minimizes tear-out, and the keyed chuck keeps larger bits aligned.
Birdhouse Condo
Build a multi-chamber birdhouse with hole-saw entrances sized for different species, clean pilot holes, and countersunk screws. The drill’s reversing and variable speed help with clean starts and removals.
