Drilling a G Pipe for a Xylophone

So, the next thing we're going to do is we're going to drill our G. We're going to use our vice grip, put it into the pipe holder. We're just going to gently tighten it up so it's firm enough to hold it still but not too tight as to damage the pipe. Then, being careful with our drill, a quarter inch down we're going to drill our hole. Let's go to town. Now we have our pipe drilled. We can see that we have some excess metal here that's going to be very sharp. We're going to be careful of our fingers. I'm just going to take that off with our metal file. The other side, take off sharp edges. There we go, now we won't cut ourselves. We're ready to go.
