Project Ideas
Business
Door Lock & Deadbolt Installations
Offer on-site installation/retrofit of deadbolts and smart locks. Use 2–1/8 in door lock hole saws and 1 in latch bores; the E‑CLUTCH minimizes risk when cutting through solid-core doors. Upsell smart lock setups, strike reinforcements, and weatherstripping. Market to landlords, realtors, and property managers.
Desk/Cabinet Grommet Hole Service
Provide clean cable pass-throughs in office desks, conference tables, and built-ins. Use wood and metal hole saws up to spec (e.g., 2 in steel, 3–5/8 in wood) at controlled RPM with lubricant on metal. Offer matching grommets, cord management, and finish touch-ups. Great for co-working spaces and corporate refreshes.
Low-Voltage and AV Pass-Through Drilling
Subcontract to AV and networking installers to bore stud and plate holes for cables using self-feed and spade bits (up to 2–9/16 in). The side handle and overload protection shine when hogging through framing. Bundle in fire-stop sealing, grommets, and labeling for a turnkey pre-wire service.
Van/Cabinet Upfit Cutouts
Specialize in drilling precision holes for van conversions and custom cabinetry: vent fans’ pilot holes, faucet/fixture holes, wiring ports, and conduit pass-throughs in wood and light-gauge steel/aluminum (within 2 in metal spec). Variable speed and reversing protect thin sheet; offer rust-proofing and grommet installs.
Small-Batch Industrial Decor Line
Produce and sell industrial pipe lamps, hardwood peg racks, and minimalist wall organizers bored with accurate holes. The 1/2 in keyed chuck holds large Forstners and hole saws for repeatable production. Sell via Etsy, local markets, and wholesale to boutiques; offer custom sizing and wood species.
Creative
Live-Edge Entry Shelf with Recessed Catch-Alls
Turn a live-edge board into a hallway shelf with built-in circular trays for keys and coins. Use large hole saws and/or Forstner bits to bore shallow recesses; the E‑CLUTCH helps when a big bit grabs. Variable speed lets you creep in cleanly for crisp edges. Add smaller cable pass-through holes for a charging station.
Three-Leg Rustic Stool
Make a sturdy milking-style stool by drilling angled mortises into a thick seat blank using 1–1/2 in spade or auger bits. Clamp a simple bevel jig to set consistent leg angles. The side handle and slow RPM give control, and reverse helps back out augers without tear-out. Wedge the tenons and sand flush.
Industrial Pipe Lamp with Wood Base
Build a lamp from black iron pipe on a hardwood base. Drill the base for mounting flanges and a center wire channel; use a step bit for strain-relief grommets and a metal hole saw for a steel canopy if desired. The keyed 1/2 in chuck holds heavy bits securely, and E‑CLUTCH protects your wrist if the hole saw binds.
Strawberry Tower Planter
Create a vertical planter from a 4–6 in wooden post or thick PVC pipe by drilling staggered 2–3 in planting pockets with a hole saw. Use the lock-on and side handle for steady orientation while the post is clamped. Add a top fill and bottom drain holes; variable speed prevents melting on plastics and tear-out on wood.
Rustic Log Tea-Light Holders
Slice small log sections and bore 1–1/2 in recesses for tea lights with a Forstner bit. The drill’s slow, torquey RPM gives flat-bottom holes with clean rims. Chamfer the edges, sand, and finish with oil or wax for a natural decor set.
