What do you do when you need a drill press but don't have one? 

Simple! Build one! 

We've got a metal bedframe that I want to raise up. I cut and stained some 4x4 wood that will act as leg extensions. The metal frame legs will go into the tops of these. Only problem is that I need to drill perfectly straight holes that are all the exact same depth in all the leg extensions. 

That would be easy if I had a drill press. Instead I built a jig that the leg fits snuggly inside and attached a drill guide to the top. Voila.
