Tillering Tree W/o Power Tools?

Doesn't anyone use a hand drill anymore?
If you have a stud wall, you can drill into wood perfectly well with an hand drill.

You can even punch into concrete or brick with a simple steel rod filed  across the end into a cross to make 4 points, hit the back end with a club hammer rotate 90 regrees, repeat until you get deep enough. Beer helps lubricate the process.

Ohhhh, i reread some of your posts.

Pat that was very helpful, I feel like an idiot because i couldn't understand anything of what you wrote yesterday but i got it today. I got a couple of peices scrap wood 2x4's about 6 feet tall. I think a portable one would be good. I'm headed over to a pawn shop to see the prices of a drill. Hoping i can find one for less than 30. I could use it to drill a 5/16 hole in a peice of metal or wood for arrow sizing as well.

I'll nail in a peice of wood to hold the handle at the top and drill in a hole then screw in the screw eye at the bottom and attach the pulley to it. Should be a peice of cake. Thanks guys.

Ok i went out and purchased a drill(40$  ) and some drill bits. Went to the hardware store and found some pulleys and a screw eye. I was like  when i figured out i didn't know how to attach the pulley to the eye hook when both are metal holes that don't attach or unattach. The pulleys i was looking at were full circles. Do you guys use one that hooks on??  I didn't see one at Ace.

You should be able to pry open the screw eye and put the pulley in it.  Use a vice and some sturdy pliers.  Or, you could go back to Ace and get a spair chain link that screws shut.  That would work to connect the two.

Ok. And i'll look for a chain link. I'm going to be doing this into a 2x4, do i want the screw eye to be able to penetrate through the opposite end of the board?
