A lot of people cringe when I mention this, but good sources of lubricant are ear wax, and the oils from the side of your nose - if you've got oily skin lik me then it is often enough to just rub the non-hearth end of the spindle against the side of your nose a few times. Now you might not want to do this for your displays to other people, but if you're stuck in the middle of nowhere fashioning a drill set out of what comes to hand, then use these natural lubricants!

(Bang goes my chances of a date with anyone reading this post! :rolmao:)


Nowt wrong with that.... :p I've used candlewax, bacon fat and allsorts to good effect :biggthump
