Bit in chuck in head stock.
Plug in left hand pushing it against tail stock.
Right hand on tail stock sliding it along the lathe rail. A little carnuba wax on the rails helps.
Drill a 1/4-1/2" and pull out to clear the cuttings.
Repeat until through or can't drill deeper.
Switch plug end for end and finish it off.

I always wear a face shield doing this, but have never needed it.
