Don't clear your chips, use a slow drill speed, a dull drill and push hard. Works particularly well for those bottle plugs you want to make into reverse atoms.

In some of my smaller needles I melt the lead in a small ladle and pour it directly into the holes after the plug is wired. I bet you could do the same thing on that danny, and then you would not need to bend the wire and do the drilling the way he did to get it above the belly weight.
