Well... I DID pick up the scrap of wood off the ground where it had been since June and then sawed/sanded/scraped off the mold, then pulled then screws out of a dead piece of structural component... and the friction gusset was cut from an old innertube... doesn't THAT count?
Some may call it half-baked, I call it well done!

Here's my hand drill powered "wood lathe" for pieces up to 4 ft. long. Easily adjustable, just takes a couple new holes for the bearing holder. I use table saw and router table to render the wood into an octagonal shape along its length. Then use belt sander to begin the rounding process to create a hiking/walking stick. Lots of sanding later, a round and tapered shaft is the finished product.

It doesn't really count as sophisticated unless you personally hand-raise each of the banana slugs, whose slime you carefully simmer down into the thick goop that makes the best wood glue for a project like that.

Just wild-harvesting the banana slugs and then coaxing them across the planks to make self-gluing lumber doesn't count... anybody can do that!

Naw... I rendered down several of Alexander family hoof clippings and used that. Stinks like hell when you cook it.

My dad had a drill just like that. It used to be grandpa's. It's served those two well until about six months ago. It used to be dad's go-to drill when his battery-powered drill couldn't produce enough torque.

Throws the "reporter's special" into the pun vault for Dave. Bon appetit!
Yanno how some people have Angels/Devils for a conscience? I have a Dark Elf ShadowKnight and a Half Elf Ranger for mine. The really bad part is when they agree on something.
