[QUOTE="kormath, post: 96137, member: 4199"] you got the drill press already, may as well use it. it's simple. For slings i use a 1/16" bit for the smallest ones, when upgrading to an amac box i drill holes half the width of their carapace so they can't escape through them. put 4 or 5 holes around the top of the box on each side, then whatever pattern you want on the lid. I usually make an X cause it's fast and i'm lazy ;) Go slow with a drill press on medium or high speed. I use a hand drill for all of mine, and put a wood block on the inside to drill into to keep the box from cracking. Buy an extra box to practice on ;) [/QUOTE]
