Here's a few I have made. The three standing up are of course made from Dalton points and the two laying down are drills made to be drills. The materials on the Daltons, left to right are Edwards chert, Novaculite and Alibates . The square end one made from Novaculite was the first drill that I think I ever made years and years ago. The one with the round end is Edwards.

Alright! Dalton those drills are superb.
Majuba, I have a slim idea that a drill like
yours would be self sharpening and very effective.
BTW cool material????
I am trying to find time to experiment more.
One from gnarly English I made to be hafted and some
personal finds.

People are making some cool drills! I like that drill that has what looks like a bannerstone on it and all the "real deal" drills! Neat stuff guys.

I just wanted to show off what the gnarly English drill accomplished
in just 11 minuets.
There is a discussion I started on Primitive Skills.

That's really neat! Did it drill through soapstone? Nice work.

Yep Dalton,
Soapstone, almost 3/4 ". I think slate is softer.
I had a lot of banded slate but gave it away.
