I've kept my 30 year old Metabo drill stand for drilling dog 'oles.
This is a reasonably simple set up. Spin the drill around so that it's at the back of the stand, clamp the base and drill away:
The bottom of the bench needs support to stop breakout. The easiest way to do this was to jam a board up between the rails of the bench.
I took the pics before actually doing the drilling, and found that i needed a piece of non-slip mat on the bottom board when knocking the short support into place.
The throw of the drill stand is only 80mm so I just used the stand for the first part of the hole and then finished off freehand because the perpendicular hole had already been established.
The drill I used was a 3/4" HSS Brad Point from Lee Valley 07J02.48. It's not as long as those in the pic look, and in this case I would have liked some extra shank length, but it is an excellent drill for the job (although this bench is only pine). The spurs are very robust, and actually cut a disc at the bottom of the hole - this can be felt whilst drilling and is the trigger to stop.
