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.

So that's why we haven't seen hide nor hair of them around the kitchen lately!

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.
