There's absolutely no pro-audio dealer in the neighborhood, I'm afraid, but
I'm getting more and more used to the idea to try and make my own rails. I
suspect that the shipping costs from StoogeInc to my place (Netherlands) is
enough to buy the needed tools (drill stand and bits).

Thanks for the suggestion.
