I don't have any big machine tools, my neighbor has some and hire out the occasional thing, very rare though. After being in this biz a while I have a shortcut to almost everything and really look for the easy way especially for one off stuff. Even my drill press is wimpy, I drill almost everything by hand, I find it faster than all the jigging and rigging, easy to flip stuff around in the vise or its on equipment or buildings anyway. I can recall first starting out, drilling was an issue but over the years just got good at it. It would certainly be different in heavy fab shop or the need for constant repetition was there but drilling a hole doesn't scare me. We lean on it so heavy we made investment in the right stuff.
