  1. Yep , it`s a fretwork drill , you place the bit into the desired position , hold vertical and vigorously move the bobbin up and down the shaft - @Suss will give you an excellent demo of the action if you ask nicely ;)

    I kept a cheapo one in the van for years great for piloting `running cabinate repairs`:thumbsup:
    Actually , thinking about it - still in there :)

  6. Some kind of boring thing, like an old yankee screwdriver (remember those)?

    I still have two different sizes. My dad used them all the time, even when he had a makita.

    I went along this bit of road this afternoon and wow, the new tarmac is like silk.
    Shame about the rest of the road!:rolleyes:

    Thanks for asking Neil much appreciated. But all hunky dory.

    Gender is getting very confused these days even the Germans seem to be in a flux with their grammar hopefully though it won't change the world.

    I was just asking for a friendly hopper anyway ;).

  16. Cordless killed them! My Dad had a couple that are probably in Africa now - gave them to a tools charity.

    Do they just drill one size then? I think I may have ditched a Yankee screwdriver too!
     
  18. Don't think it's a screwdriver. I have seen one of...them...before, but I can't remember what it was for.

    I think it's called an Archimedes drill.
