    This guy makes me feel like a whiner for thinking I need fancy tools....

    There's always something new to learn.

        nice! I saw one using a willow sapling IIRC, I'm trying to remember the name of the village. It is in Missouri, no power anything. It looks like the one in the video below, basically the sapling acts like a spring and you power it with a tredle.



        and I must be a brat because I'd still want the fancy version.

          That guy's got some talented feet. I'd end up cutting a toe or two off.

            my drill gun has a bad bearing in the chuck for being a lathe. Not meant happen.
            I finally figured if the piece can fit in the chuck, use the blade/grind easy. (I was making a fuel metering needle custom)

            I am watching vid and hear the song for cirque du soleil.. I am thinking "what a dumb choice of music for this vid." I glance at the task bar and see I have the media player on a long playlist.
