I have one of the cheap bench mounted drill presses. It is OK for a lot of projects, and has fixed many projects that just not would have been possible to drill by hand.
Very easy with a the drill press, but a chore to do by hand. All to hold the plastic 2x4 of this compost rig my master gardener wife bought from the city, and she "let" me put it together.
The barrel rotates to stir up the contents, and I can compost the grass clippings and not have to put it in the trash. I had to reinforce the legs to withstand the torque of the heave barrel rotating.
