Can anyone recommend a tool for drilling holes very close to a
perpendicular surface?

What about a flex shaft like this?

It looks like it's primarily for driving screws, but I imagine if you
had a hex shank drill bit, and kept it fairly slow, you could drill up
very close to another surface.
Good luck,
Andy

Great suggestion! I'll go to Rockler tomorrow.

At $7, I can't go wrong. I spend all day using my drill, so I'm sure I'll
find lots of other uses.

Thanks,
Steve
