When I have to drill something overhead like that, I take a small round tub, like the ones that "I can't believe it's not butter" come in, and drill a hole in the center of it, a little bigger than the bit I'm using. Slip it over the bit, put it up against the material I'm drilling, and the chips will fall into the tub. I've even used duct tape to hold it in place if I have to use both hands, like when I'm on a ladder. Well, sometimes it works.

I'm a lot more careful on a ladder now Tony.

Sure, now you tell me how to keep the shower of metal shavings off me. Oh well, I did have on safety glasses and the rest brushed off or went down the drain.
