I had an idea on this a while back. It drills nicely but no coal as it stands, but maybe we can suggest improvements:-
bow - your own hand with a loop of string round it
spindle - whatever works - I tried wood between pencil and match size
top axle - the top of a biro (this needs to be something harder)
hearth board - if going for slimg drills needs to be a hardwood I suspect
It is beautifully simple and moves nicely in the hand but needs further work. I will try and submit a photo in the next week.
