Funny FAKE Help - How to Drill a Hole in a Piece of Wood
74If you have ever wondered about how to drill a hole in some wood then you have come to the right place.
In fact one can only give thanks that you have managed to find your way to this piece of writing, nestled in amongst the other two thousand articles on the subject.
Wood, holes and drilling is my area of expertise – and I have penned this short piece on the subject in order to share my knowledge.
Please don’t confuse this article with others of a similar nature – I can assure you that this subject will be treated in a unique and quality way. This sincerity comes from the wallet, and the heart, but mostly the wallet of course.
If you are tempted to back arrow at this point then can I offer a simple “up yours” by way of gratitude – and a suggestion that in future you check the summary before wasting people’s bandwidth.
For those who are determined to continue reading in their search for genuine informative knowledge then I welcome you as an astute and decent sort of reader.
About the Author
The author (which is me by the way) is an internet writer.
Not to be confused with a proper writer he (I) is engaged in an attempt to create quality informative content on a 24/7 basis.
This has the twin aims of bringing enlightment to a frankly stupid and ungrateful audience (no offence) and trying to earn an almost honest crust.
Without giving too many secrets away I can assure you that up till this page it has been a bit of a dead loss. Despite this minor drawback I have found time to pen an eBook entitled “How I Made an Absolute Bloody Fortune Writing” - available at all good spam sites.
Getting Some Wood
Back to the subject. It’s important when disseminating learned information in an internet format to keep it short, snappy and to the point.
So let’s get on with it.
I’m assuming here that you already have a piece of wood that you wish to make a hole in. If not, and you are researching ahead of the exciting drilling event, then can I suggest you purchase any wood required from a reliable wood vendor.
This is probably one of those rare occasions when you can’t buy something from Amazon (dammit) so rather than put up an affiliated advert in the hope of making some commission – I have to advise you to visit a wood monger.
Need to Buy a Drill?
Hopefully you haven’t actually bought a drill yet? That’s when my keen marketing mind leaps into action.
What could someone who is searching for wood, holes, drilling and how to - need? Why, a drill of course would be my best guess.
Add in the subtlety of my recommendation which is “you will need a drill” and we are moving rapidly into the kind of quality writing that I aspire to, but which has so far eluded me.
So, yeah, friend – please buy the featured drill from Amazon. It has electric capability and probably some drill pieces so you don’t need to buy those as well. If when you get it you find it doesn’t have some drill bits then just buy a wood one.
Tip: The drill bit is the screwy thing that fits in the end of the drill. The hole in the wood will be dependent on the size of this. Big one = big hole. Small one = … can you believe I’m writing this? Me neither.
The Hole in the Wood
Determine where you want the hole or if you are just having fun with your new drill just drill one anywhere.
Make a mark with a pencil or perhaps a screwdriver and place the drill tip at this point in a vertical manner.
Please note: I am not going to be responsible for any accidents you might have. Please be fairly careful about it.
Hold wood, hold drill, press whatever button the excellent drill from Amazon has and make a hole.
To be honest, that’s about it. Practice is a good idea – so if you bought two pieces of wood you can mess about with one until you have the right technique.
Hope This Was Useful
I hope that this article on whatever subject (I use the same summary for all my pieces) was informative, hilarious, entertaining, thought provoking – please delete as appropriate.
Please feel free, and it is free unfortunately, to read any of my other excellent articles which have brought a new meaning to the phrase informative quality content.
If you read this far and are feeling slightly disappointed then take it up with Google not me. If you used Bing then it’s your own fault.
Happy surfing!

Good morning Mark,
I will cherish this advice you have brought forth today..I am sure it will be useful one day..actually maybe today..:) Really funny..Reading you comment above..I feel that is the joy of writing..we just write what we feel..maybe some will get it..some will not..but oh well..it was funny to me.
Have a great day.

I do this sort of thing for a living and have written a couple how to hubs myself. A lot of DIY hubs are sadly as funny as the one you have just presented. Most are written by folks who have no working knowledge. They simply keep it broad in the hopes that no ones notices. Very funny piece. I needed some humor to start my day. voted up and funny.
I wanted to go on a journey of self discovery. Well actually, I wanted to go on a journey to discover some pieces of wood. I have a drill. I know how to use it. But I got all excited when I read your hub, and wanted to have another go.
You can never have too many holes, I always say.
But (getting back to the beginning of this comment) my voyage of discovery would have lead to me to B&Q in Croydon . That was the only place I thought I would have been able to find any wood. And that's a long drive.
So I pulled down a couple of pickets from my neighbour's garden fence.
She was not pleased, and when I told her you had put me up to is, she stormed out, and now she won't speak to me.
Priceless (your comment - not the occasional table)
Pleas Mark, having followed your advice my wife now wants a divorce, the reason being that her favorite table where I created said hole in the piece of wood now also has a hole (was the drill (the spirally bit of metal not the large plastic electric powered piece) too long?) I have explained that if anyone now spills drinks on the table the liquid is now able to drain harmlessly to the floor below rather than over the edge of the table on to our laps.
However she does not see the practicalities of this!
Please Mark, could you advise in your next hub as to how to avoid divorce?
Forget the drill, I can screw a hole with my bare hands.....
A hole in one for your hub - an eagle or a biridie or something. Good drilling...I mean good writing.
Hi, again, Mark. I have fleshed out http://hubpages.com/hub/A_Remarkable_Likeness a little, and I think you would perhaps smile if you were to read it.
I hate to say this Mark, but you missed a couple of points. First, a wood monger isn't necessary; the neighbors fence works very well and has an excellent side effect. If the new holes are placed accurately low flying birds will now be able to pass through the fence instead of banging their little heads on it. Be kind to our feathered friends!
Also, a brace and bit may be used instead of those new-fangled electric thingies, is cordless and will provide some much needed exercise for internet surfers.
I'm sorry, Mark, but you simply MUST put some more thought (at least another 10 seconds) into these otherwise very well written and amazingly informative How To hubs!
Bugger! How do you do it again...! 35 years as a Cabinetmaker and I couldn't even come up with a simple Hub as good as this even if I tried! Thumbs up again!
Thanks for the information.
I think your on to something here mark, you can quickly and easily share tips with people on how to do things while not being bogged down with details. I love it. ROFL
Just brilliant, Mark! Rated up and funny :)
thats all cool but I really need to know how to drill a hole in the wall! Can you help me with that?
What is the matter with me? I was looking at the 89 notifications from HP that someone has commented on something and someone has published a new hub, and my heart sank because I've being doing stuff and need to catch up.
End of introductory sentence.
Then I saw that you had commented on this hub and I thought: "I'll have another read and see if it still makes me laugh".
And it does.
Thanks for being such a brilliant writer and making my day start off with more than a chuckle, but with a LAUGHED OUT LOUD.
Hi Mark, somehow I missed this earlier. Here's me prattling on about direct-dialling for Google dollars, when you've already got straight to the point (sorry, not a great pun, but better than 'got the bit between your teeth', I think you'd agree..)with this. Obviously it's like oil exploration - just drill down far enough and Google will spout er, black gold...? Enjoyed this.
this article writer needs to find new ways to amuse himself instea dof wasting the time of serious people who really wnat to know why the hell the drill wont penetrate the wood and gives off smoke.Perhaps i may wind up getting injured thanks to this useless garbage.It makes the assumption that asking for answers is wasteful when in fact all this article did was waste my toime when i am repurposing furniture -recycling.Thanks for making me feel like not working anymore and having more crap in landfills.I am a writer I suffer from hypergraphia this is shit writing.
This writer happens to be one of the most gifted writers on hub pages. Have a look at the number of people who read and comment, and are amused by his hubs. People in glass houses should not throw stones, m yeoman.
Perhaps your punctuation and typographical skills could use a little assistance.
They're worse than mine.

Sorry to say this Mark, but I was disappointed!
My expectation was that this would either be a seriously funny piece or a funnily serious one. Instead it just turned out to be a pure (24 carat) funny hub.
I hope I have made some sense. You asked for negative feedback in another hub - this is as far as I can go.
How do you do it, Mark? Hilarious!
