Like many others, I find one of the more challenging parts of making stick\u00a0furniture is consistently drilling holes at a set angle, especially without a laser or without another pair of eyes\u00a0to make sure I\u2019m keeping both the drill and bit at the proper angle.\u00a0My solution is very simple.<\/p>\n

First, I go to the kitchen and dig out the plastic bag holding skewers for making shish kebabs. I pull out several skewers and find one that is reasonably straight.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Second, I tape the skewer to the top of my drill, which is made easier in my case because the plastic casing on my drill has two grooves, one towards the back and one towards the front, that are centered along the top and aligned with one another.\u00a0I place the skewer in the grooves, with one end extending over the drill bit. Using duct tape, which sticks to plastic more securely than painter\u2019s tape, I tape the skewer securely in place.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Third, I line up my bevel, set at the proper angle, along the sightline and tape it in place so that it will be about 1\/4\u2033 in front of the skewer when the drill is held in place to drill the hole.<\/p>\n

\n
\"\"\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

Fourth, I drill the hole. Lining everything up is super easy at this point. Because the skewer is right next to the bevel, it isn\u2019t difficult to keep the two parallel with one another.\u00a0Also, when sighting down the skewer, you can easily keep it aligned with the leading edge of the bevel.\u00a0<\/p>\n
