Video: Miniature, operational electric drill perfect for smurfing smurfs

The gang over at Make have dug up a pretty sweet electric drill that's looks to be about the right size for the Smurf in your life. Powered by a button cell battery, the inventor (a shadowy figure known only as s8) has plans to make these commercially available -- as soon as he figures out how to configure his website. Not too many details on how this was put together, but you can see several prototypes above. Video after the break.

Wow, so it looks like he cur the drills out of a sheet of accrylic and jammed the motor in it. He used a small drill bit to make holes for the wires and what appears to be a straw like structure to attach the drill bit to the motor. I would have never thought of that.
