I Remember when I was a Boy

[threedogs]

I don't remember these hand post drills but I have to take my hat off to the older metal workers. I clamped a piece of 8mm steel with a 10mm hole
in it my intention was to quickly drill it out to 12mm. OMG This drill even has auto fed, you'll need shoulders like basketballs to work this tool.
after 10 min all I did was counter sink the hole, they were right men were men back then, will use it though as have the anvil, furnace ,etc.
Plus I have an even older one but missing a few bits, we're only talking 1920ish . Take my hat off to all of them
