Nice pic, and it looks good.

I thought about the unit and if I were to modify it, I would add an
articulating arm magnifying light to see the hole locations better,

AND....

I would add a foot operated lever. spring load the lever so when you
stepped on it, the drilling arm drilled the hole and only the spring
pulled the dremel, not the power of your foot.

alternatly, mount a solenoid and a foot switch.

now, to design a fast change chuck for a Dremel.......
