I could see using a drill press, except that the board is over 100 inches long, and there's no way to get a drill press over top of it. Is there a standard solution to a problem like this? Any help will be greatly appreciated,
My my, we would appear to be blessed. Just checked google, and this looks like your first post on the web anywhere, ever.
You could always lie the drellpress on its side. Or cut the 2X4 short enough to fit under the drillpress. Or you could lift the drillpress up, maybe put it on a balcony, or something.
