The first drill was invented back in the Neolithic era, even then without this tool there was nowhere to drill a tree, make a hole in the stone, and even make a fire. Since then, nothing has changed, the drill is still popular, only it has been improved a bit. Today, most drilling work, depending on complexity, is performed either on special machines or with hand tools.
It is clear that factory machines designed to perform serial operations in the home workshop are useless, but on the other hand, special drilling accuracy is sometimes necessary. Then the masters think how to make a do-it-yourself drilling machine and preferably from improvised materials. It’s unlikely that you can simply find the necessary parts in the store, so a special fantasy is needed for the manufacture.
