It is quite possible to make a drill holder with your own hands. As a basis, you can take both wooden and metal blanks. First, the bed is made, after which they move on to the handle and the rack. If necessary, you can add additional elements. How to do this is described in the article.

Materials and tools
Before starting work, it is necessary to prepare improvised means. It is quite possible to make a holder for a screwdriver with your own hands. To do this, you will need the following tools and materials:
- wooden boards, thickness 2 cm;
- furniture guides;
- fasteners;
- clamp;
- Screwdriver Set;
- threaded stud;
- glue;
- hacksaw or electric jigsaw;
- screwdriver;
- drill;
- emery;
- construction roulette;
- pencil.
You can also make a holder from metal elements, but working with them is somewhat more difficult due to the need for welding. Therefore, the manufacturing process of a wooden holder will be discussed below. It is also quite durable, and it is really possible to make such a design in a matter of hours.
Step-by-step instruction
A homemade drill holder is made in several stages. First, a frame is made, then a stand and a handle, after which additional elements are installed that expand the functionality. This can be, for example, a mount with which the drilling angle is adjusted. The main steps are:
- The frame is made of wood 20 mm thick. The size should be 50 * 50 cm if the tool is supposed to be used only for vertical drilling. If the drill performs several functions at once, the optimal size is 100 * 50 cm.
- Then they move on to the counter. They make a carriage from a bar, from each edge they mount a furniture guide also from wooden bars.
- The next step in the instructions on how to make a do-it-yourself drill holder is related to assembling the moving elements and checking their smoothness. The bearing supports are connected with a piece of wood to eliminate unnecessary play.
- Put the device on its side, fix the frame to it. A support is installed from below, which will fix all structural elements. It is important to make sure that all corners are right.
- Next, make a holder out of wood. It has a plastic handle that is comfortable to hold.
- Take the received holder and fix it to the carriage from below with the help of self-tapping screws.
- If necessary, an additional shelf can be installed. To do this, take a bar with a section of 5 * 5 cm, make a hole through, which corresponds to the threaded stud. A futorka is installed there and the base of the shelf is placed on a bar. Threaded with a hairpin and fix it with a nut.
- A return mechanism is mounted behind the structure - for this they put a spring.
- They begin to assemble a handle made of wood - it should consist of a short and a long part. The first is fixed with bolts with a lever, as well as a holder.
Now it remains to install the tool and figure out how to fix the drill. Already after the first application, you can understand that thanks to the holder, work has become much easier. You can make such a design alone, and it will definitely save effort and time.
