Nicodemus Paranoid? Veteran Registered: 10/30/05 Posts: 1341 Loc: Virginia, US	Originally Posted By: Frank2135 By the way, is it cheating to use my Makita cordless drill instead of a bow? I find if I put a 1/4-inch maple dowel in the chuck and really bear down on some nice hardwood while running it at top revs, I can get a nice ember going... Frank2135 I guess it's only cheating if you call it the Bow Drill. In the above case you could call it the Drill Drill. _________________________ "Learn survival skills when your life doesn't depend on it."
