Make Hangers and Drill Angled Holes

Drilling angled holes can be a challenge and a half, and it's compounded by drilling into round stock. Follow along as I solve this issue, without fancy tools (beyond a drill press), and build some nice wall mounted hangers in the process.

When using a wholesaw, after marking the outer circle, use a regular drill bit and drill a hole on the circle line (inside the waste) so the sawdust has a place to escape. This way you won't dull your wholesaw, drill faster and avoid burning the wood. 👍

Nicely done, Daniel! Really enjoyed the build and your sense of humor along the way. Best wishes! - Tom Z

Thanks for another excellent video. Really appreciate your editing and all aspects of the videography. Simple elegant jig and fine build...gonna build that knife one day soon. Hat Tip!

Not sure which I enjoy more, your projects or your narration. Please keep on doing both!

The drill jig is great. I recently made a rack for all my small power tools to hang and drilling the angled holes was no fun.
The hangers really cool as well I especially like the carved ends. This gives it personality!
PS: Don't let them catch you ;-)

Lol.

Love your sense of humour.

And.. I learnt something too.
Thank you.

For some reason, they remind me of bacteria... Which makes them art! Cool jig, and good idea with the slot. Thanks for sharing!

Great vid with some really good tips, along with an excellent jig. Can't go wrong with a S&L vid :-)

Time to adapt this without a drill press or a band saw or a circular sander. Cool project ;)

[notfastuc]

Pure Genius.!!!..Where did you get that Nice little carving knife ?

[pcrombs]

What would you call that metal mounting bracket?

[GeneralBoboDK]

You should create videos more often! :D Maybe include some 3d printing, in future projects?

An easier way to drill those holes is by starting with the drill bit straight onto the surface. Start your hole then turn the work piece or drill, with the drill still running, to the angle you want and continue the hole. This is easier to do if you start with a pilot hole.

Very nice, organic hangers :) is this your own shop or are you still at your university? Anyhow, lucky you, awesome Sanders :D

Cat-Hair Knife makes a couple of cameos in this film. I suspect that Cat-Hair Knife will go onto being a Star someday.

Very elegant solution. Ikea called -- they want 200, 000 by December. They will be called Hangel : ) What would you do if you got an order for a huge amount of something you made?

[Figulus]

Sorry?! What's this about streaking? I don't use social media nor do I Live in Stockholm (I think that's where you said that's where you lived in the Widowmaker video but I can't quite remember...) so could somebody give me a run down of what's been happening over there?
