To sign 'drill', hold your non-dominant hand flat in front of you with the palm facing up to represent a surface. Form an 'L' shape with your dominant hand by extending your index finger and thumb. Point your dominant index finger down toward your non-dominant palm, touching the tip to the center of the palm. Twist your dominant wrist back and forth a few times so the index finger mimics a spinning drill bit.
