Here's another method using the power of your car instead of your drill clamped onto a vise.

you guys can laugh all you want but I'm cutting time in half and its pretty stable. The vise isn't clamping the drill in place. It's just holding it from moving up and side to side. I also have a hand on it while operating the trigger. Like I said, its on slow speed and doesn't shake at all.
Come on guys. Shame on all of you or doing stupid silly $hit when you were younger... You can't deny it. What is it, now that you are older, you can comment on the young?
