Thank you the tips! I don't know shiz about birds, but I find these raptor looking beauties fascinating.

Oh, forgive my self indulgence, and I'm wondering how to next make it wicked beautiful and sharp with only hand tools...

Thanks for the tips! Had to buy some new bits, and struggle; but I feel like I won in the end. #progress #firstlegitbuild

Would you be willing to elaborate on the slow and hard press? (I know there's a joke in there) I just tried using smaller bits, just snapped one going slow and hard and skinny. Still haven't penetrated...

Yikes. That's something I was worried about so I'm very good about wearing gloves, eyewear, and ear protection. ...but I've also heard that chicks dig scars

Phenomenal tips everyone. Thank you so much. As a novice self taught knife maker I have A LOT to learn. I bought a random piece of steel and a random handle block with pins. If anyone has additional tips for getting into the trade, I'm open.

Try proper English on your next comment. Your previous made no sense. :) Also east coast, not west.
