Picked up a 1 1/4" thick cutting board up from my local salvation army for $5 today. I could have used a scrap piece of 2x12 I had laying around but figured I wanted to make something I was proud of and looked nice. I used a 1" wood bit to drill the holes. Spaced the holes 1.5" apart and and a little over an inch deep. The holes are deep enough that I the brass hulls are below flush.... The hulls will "weebile wobble" in the 1"x1" round holes but won't tip over and fall out. I sanded the pencil marks out until the top was smooth and put a coat of antique minwax finish on it. I used a tooth brush to varnish inside the holes I drilled. Imo it turned out nice for a $5 investment. Never played around with a drill press since middle school accept for roll crimping hulls the last few years. It was a fun, quick, and easy project. It took a few hours from start to end.
