Project Ideas
Business
In-wall low-voltage wire fishing service
Offer clean TV, camera, and speaker cable runs. Drill 7/8 in stud holes that meet most low-voltage needs, then use the bit’s wire-pulling hole to fish leader lines as you retract the bit—fewer trips and faster installs. Package pricing: single-room TV concealment, multi-camera bundles, and whole-home prewire.
Copper-and-wood home goods line
Produce towel bars, curtain rods, paper towel holders, and plant rails using 3/4 in copper pipe seated in 7/8 in bores. The spurs provide clean fit-and-finish, and the quick-change shank speeds batch production. Sell as DIY kits and finished pieces on Etsy/local markets with custom lengths and finishes.
Modular peg display panels
Manufacture perforated display boards with 7/8 in holes and matching pegs/shelves for retail pop-ups, craft fairs, and home organization. Offer branded kits and rental packages. The chip-removal channel helps you drill dense hole grids efficiently with less clogging in softwood and plywood.
Custom acoustic decor for offices/podcasters
Design and install decorative perforated panels with 7/8 in patterns over acoustic backing for studios, conference rooms, and cafés. Market as sound control that doubles as wall art. Use jigs for repeatable grids; the durable shank withstands continuous production runs.
Yard game rental and sales
Build ring toss sets, peg games, and lawn scoreboards that rely on 7/8 in holes and dowel pegs. Rent for parties and events with upsells for custom engraving. The bit’s fast chip ejection shortens batch production time, improving margins.
Creative
Copper-and-wood towel bar or plant hanger
Drill 7/8 in pass-through holes in side brackets to snugly fit 3/4 in copper pipe (OD ≈ 7/8 in) for a sleek towel bar, curtain rod, or hanging plant rail. The cutting spurs leave clean hole rims in hardwood, and the chip-removal channel speeds repetitive drilling. Finish the wood, polish or patina the copper, and mount with decorative brackets.
Perforated lantern or wall sconce
Create a patterned grid or constellation of 7/8 in holes in thin hardwood panels to form a lantern or sconce that casts dramatic light. The spurs produce crisp edges; use shallow overlapping bores for unique shapes. Back the inside with diffusion paper or frosted acrylic and light with LEDs.
Acoustic art panel
Drill a uniform array of 7/8 in holes in a plywood face panel, then back it with felt and acoustic wool to build a decorative absorber/diffuser. Use a simple jig for spacing; the quick-change hex shank lets you swap bits for pilot holes and mounting quickly. Finish with stain or paint to match interiors.
Giant peg game board
Make an outdoor tic-tac-toe or ring-toss base by drilling 7/8 in holes for removable hardwood dowel pegs. Paint pegs in team colors and add a carrying handle. The 6 in bit length reaches comfortably through thick boards, and the spurs keep the entry side clean—back up exits to minimize tear-out.
Beehive/birdhouse ventilation kit
Add 7/8 in ventilation and drain holes to hive boxes or birdhouses, then staple fine mesh behind them. The heat-treated shank resists bending when boring through resinous or knotty pine. Use the hang hole to keep the bit on a lanyard while working on a ladder.
