Hand drill with your mouth ?

(1/2) > >>

Minuteman:
Had an idea the other day. I'm sure i'm not the first to come up with this but I was wondering if anyone had tried holding a block in their mouth for the top of the drill to spin in while hand drilling up a coal? Seems like you could get a coal with a little less effort.
 I'm sure someone has done it.
 I bet you'd make sure the dern thing wasn't about to burn through each time you got ready to use it!
 Anyone done it?

mullet:
   Primitive made did it .

Justin Snyder:
There is a tribe in South America that still uses a wood piece held in the mouth to hold and apply pressure to the drill. Justin

Minuteman:
Primitive" maid" or primitive "man", Eddie? :o

mullet:
  Oop's with that spelling, you'd think Dana posted it.  ;) :D
