I would like to make a series of 3mm angled holes
(20,22,24 degrees) in a small piece of
Tufnol, around 12 mm deep.
I have quite a few hand tools (both
woodworking and metalworking), but my only
powertool is a drill in a wolf stand.
The angle is enough to make starting a 3mm drill at all "interesting", and getting the hole in the right place "more interesting".
My approach so far is to use a piece of 2x4 sliced off at the desired angle with my Nobex mitre saw, as an angled table, with a drill vise holding the workpiece.
I used this as the drill: http://galootcentral.com/components/cpgalbums/userpics/10152/drill_stand.jpg

I would welcome hints or tips.
(I'm making a more-engineered version of the gadget discussed here http://www.knifeforums.com/forums/printpost.php?tid/871697 / which is just a piece of scrap hardwood)
