Do any of you guys have a drill press?

I dunno what the frame is made out of but it's not really flimsy enough for me to use an awl to punch a hole. I'd rather just have it

You don't have to punch a hole in it, just put a good dent in it for the tip of the bit to get started in.

I've got a drill press in my shop at the house. I live near Dulles airport though. If you want to bring it to the FFX meet this coming weekend, I'll be happy to take it home and drill it out for you and get it back to you somehow. I work in the Tyson's Corner area if that helps. If I can get it before this weekend, I can bring the drilled frame to the FFX meet.
