Preparing to Drill

MAKING A PVC DRILLBIT
The first drillbit you’ll probably want to try is one from PVC. It is easy.

MAKING A METAL DRILLBIT
The next step up in drillbits. More durable and extremely helpful in hardpack clay.

USER SUBMITTED DRILLBITS
One of my favorites. The ingenuity of our users on full display.

MAKING THE DRILLHEAD
Cheap, easily done with a little practice, and necessary for drilling.

MAKING THE HANDLE
You’ll want one of these. It makes DIY drilling much easier.
