Nice work with the hand drill. It took me way longer than that to do it last time I tried, which was some years ago. I really ought to practice it more often as its so simple.
We have a plant called mullein which grows around here. It has a tall flowering spike and is meant to be good for hand drills. I have some in my workshop that I have dried, so will have to dig them out and give it a go.
Mullein grows pretty readily in the mountains here. I've heard rumors of success using mullein on mullein, but I haven't had any. I have, however, confirmed that a mullein spindle works well using our local cottonwood as a hearth board. I'd be curious what you find works with the mullein you've got in your area.Originally Posted by JonnyP

Oh, Dog Breath, you just made my day with the Neddie Seagoon quote in your signature line. Didn't know there was another Goon fan on here!
Later!

Really good and well documented!
The kicker for me, is the fact you are one of the few Americans I've come across that knows the difference between a Tortoise and a Turtle!
