hand drill

(1/3) > >>

Ed Brooks:
I was messing around and ended up making a hand drill to try to drill some rocks. here is what I came up with.
the shaft is dog wood i think, the weight is Ocean Spray as it the drive board i used store / garage sale string  :-[ instead of making some.
 

Ed Brooks:
the drill was made from a piece of rock i got in a trade from Mr. Mullet. it hold its edge great on the rocks shown. i had a small flat rock it was some kind of speckled "soft" rock, or so i thought it ate my drill before i gave up on that rock. Its kinda amazing how fast and easy you can drill holes in stone. hope you enjoy. Ed

BowEd:
Pretty darn cool Ed.

Zuma:
Ed, Is your photo of the drill point before or after drilling?
Do you have one of before, if not?
Thanks Zuma

---GUTSHOT--->:
That's too cool. Got to try that. Is that rock you drilled into called chalk rock?
