By hand drill I am assuming a corded or cordless power drill and not a traditional hand drill or brace & bit. This is what I picture as a hand drill. 71iDvonkIAL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

Just holding it by hand and applying light pressure as the bit starts to bite is all it takes. For a decent straight through hole. After you punch through one side, hold the drill square length wise and continue drilling from the inside out. The bit should find the low area and square you up circumferentially. When done make sure to clean off any burrs.
