have a 4x4 post that i want to drill a straight hole into the top of,
however the post is longer than the drill press is tall. The base of
the drill stand is what gets in the way if I put the press on a bench
or something. Anyone have a good work around to this?

Short of digging a hole under the drill press, use a ship's auger and
the jig shown in Fred Bingham's book.
