The guide pin drill was made of a threaded rod, one edge is sharpened under the cone.

Attached to the bank with nuts through a previously drilled hole.

The bottom of the can is quite flexible, so the author poured it with hot glue from a glue gun.

Additionally, he also processed the nut fixing the drill so that it does not loosen.
