QUESTION: (Lyall Downie)

I have 2 whisky barrels done up to use as tables in the garden. I want to fit perspex tops as the wood is not level. Whats the best way to drill holes without damaging the perspex?

I was going to order the perspex cut to size and pre drilled however the circumference of the barrel tops varies.

The Perspex will be screwed to the rim of the barrel which is only 10mm wide. The circumference varies between 55.5 and 56.5 cm hence the reason for drilling the holes myself, rather than having them pre-drilled.
