My son's bow drill
Here was one of my Chirstmas presants from my son - and an interesting one at that. It's a bow drill, now of course this one obviously has a modern touch with it's twine rope and metal tip BUT it does work on the same principal. I thought it was pretty cool and wanted to share. We have tested it out a bit and it will, with patience, drill through wood but we plan on making the spinning disk out of stone (counter weight) out of stone and then see how it does. I thought this would be a good forum for this when we look at some of the drilled artifact that sometimes come by- there's a good chance a similar tool to this might have been used to create them.
