Those of you who frequent the forum may have already seen this nifty little project, but I thought I'd share it with the rest of you.

Vernon Peterson came up with a great idea when he decided to build a base for his Magnetic Drill. Personally I've always wanted a Mag Drill, but I've never had a project that required one so it was a hard purchase to sneak past the wife. But with Vernon's base I could totally justify adding a Mag Drill to my shop because it would double as a second drill press!

Here's a video of Vernon's creation:

Vernon originally posted this project to the forum here, but I liked the project so much I felt it needed to be featured on the home page.

I hope it inspires those of you who own a mag drill to pull it out, dust it off, and turn it into a more frequently used tool in your shop.
