Any tips on drilling a perfect airflow hole, without a drill press? (divots?)

Hey guys! I'm debating making a contraption alot like this. I have actually done a great job cleanly drilling most of my toppers by hand, however there are a few "slips" that are present on some, with a big lovely scratch leading to the drilled holes. I could always just buy a drill press, but that's something I'd like to save up for, and probably buy a multi-purpose press for other projects, so that's not an immediate solution.

I was wondering if you guy's had any tips on making that perfect initial "starter divot" to put the drill bit in, or even an easy way to easily/perfectly drill a hole with nothing but a hand drill.


I have one of the best drills money can buy, the problem is the user :p. I'm not exactly as perfect as a drill-press can be, and I have a great local vape-shop I can always go to and get it done for free. But I was just checking with my ECFriends to see if they had a good tip for me. (And making the divot with a nail & hammer doesn't really work that well.)

~Thanks in advance!
