Jon,
Nice drill press and really good video. I would make one suggestion that I ran into with my home built drill press: Add a second layer to the top of your table with about a 3" - 4" square cut out where your bit penetrates. It's nice when you've used a forstner bit or hole saw and cut a large hole in the table. When it gets eaten up with use, just drop in a new insert and you have a fresh cutting surface. Or you can make several inserts for each hole size you make. You can cut a stack of them to keep around. They can be made from less expensive plywood of the same thickness too.
