Make a Zen Garden Rake for your Ashtray

Step 3 Drilling the Teeth

First, draw a straight line across the mouth(?). I accomplished this by laying both the pencil and mouth down on a flat surface and pulling the pencil across its face.

Then, put 5 marks on the mouth that are 1/2 in. apart but start 1/4 in. away from either edge (see picture).

Use a 1/8 in. drill bit and (using a drill press if possible) drill the 5 holes at each intersection that you drew on the mouth.

Try to be consistent - If the holes are crooked or some are deeper than others, your rake might not look to pretty.
