Very cool, love that bow drill!!

 

[John Katt]

I just love that grinding wheel!!

Think I'll have a look around the interwebs tonight and see if I can score me some whale oil for quenching ;0)

Note the cutler's anvil with all different die blocks in it for special operations, like forging in the nail nick, beveling, shouldering etcetera.
