- I wanted to show
it comes to drilling big holes into wood,
so I needed a big project.
This clock-- ah, stay--
does not have numbers.
So I'm going to show you how to drill them the right way.
This is called a hole saw and it does exactly that.
It cuts a hole in the wood, but it can only go so deep.
Your other options are paddle bit and a Forstner bit.
This one is all about speed, and this one is all about accuracy.
The tendency is going to be to blast through this thing
and try to drill a hole really fast
when you do that, you're going to get
some blow out on the bottom.
To prevent it, use a scrap piece of wood like this
and clamp it underneath.
Now, when you go to drill--
safety glasses on-- don't just hit the gas and go.
Slowly let the drill bit cut.
Then, once you have a hole established,
you can tell that I'm rocking it back
and forth to apply pressure to different sides of the hole.
I know I'm getting close to the bottom,
so I'm going to just slow it down a little bit.
And I'm through.
I can tell because my piece of scrap wood has come through.
Because we used that piece of scrap wood,
there's no blow out the back.
Whoa, whoa, OK.
So next time you start a new project,
you'll know how to drill holes the right way.
