February 3, 20197 yr Mighty fine Gene. He probably don't have a Wood Carvers Supply close by...I save all my broken and wore out drill bits for later use. Most of mine I grind down for counter sinks for real small wood screws. A good video!
February 6, 20197 yr Very talented considering what little he has for tools. Wonder what the wood is...seemed to be very fibrous species.
