$30 is a Lie, add the cost of an air compressor. The Dremel option is still way cheaper.

While we are at it just add the cost of screwdrivers, a welder, a workbench, a tap set, screws, a property to run the thing from, etc... This REALLY cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to make!!!!
Seriously. A lot of people already have air compressors, and this project is most certainly not the only thing you can do with one. They are a good shop investment.
A dremel may be a good way for some (or most) people to go, but I think this could be a lot more accurate, and produce generally cleaner holes. IDK though.
