Okay, I just bought myself a really nice 18v cordless power drill for $50 bucks and I'm looking for things I can do with it. Anybody have any bright ideas?

I'm building a table tomorrow for kicks. I've never really made one in my life. I'm actually a computer nut.

Your input will be greatly cherished.

Well, when I first saw the topic of your message, I had all sorts of ideas, but then I thought that you might actually want to keep the drill intact, seeing as you're actually using it for its intended purpose...sooo, I don't know what to tell ya...

go to your local ACE hrdware or whatever hardware stores you have out there on the east coast and buy some material (some plastics, plexiglass). Use vertical band saw to cut to lengths of 55mm x 80mm. drill holes in one of the corners and then make designs on them with cnc mill.
oh what, you don't have a band saw or a cnc mill? sorry, i don't think you can get those at hardware stores...
i'll think of something else...
you could make some dice with a band saw, some sandpaper and a drill press with a small bit... think about it.. im blabbering..
