Hi, it's me again
How can I drill holes into bone? I suppose I could just try, but I want to get it right in one go 
Not sure if this is too late to help, but I got a bit of experience in this when I made bone scales for a straight razor.
There's nothing too elaborate with my technique. I use a vice and a hand (not electric) drill with a new, sharp bit.
* Clamp the piece firmly to ensure it doesn't move.
* Mark the spot you want to drill with a scribe or punch to keep the bit from walking as it turns.
* Press the bit against the marked spot and begin turning it, using steady, consistent pressure. Bone can be fragile, so there's no need to use a lot of pressure if you can avoid doing so.
* If the hole you need is fairly big, use gradually larger bits until you reach the correct size.
There's a couple of benefits to drilling the holes in this somewhat old-fashioned way. You can easily control the progress of the bit through the material, and you tend to avoid the "burning hair" stench that often occurs when drilling bone with a high-speed drill.
Hope this helps,
