Primitive Technology shows building a cord drill from scratch and then upgrading it to a pump drill, using only primitive materials like a stone flywheel and cord.
HN people link it as a satisfying demonstration of hand-powered drills being made from nothing.

The guy over at the primitive technology vlog on YouTube just added a neat video of himself making a cord drill and a pump drill. [VIDEO]
Oh the title sounds familiar, on the other hand no talk in mind .. great. ps: his fire starting example reminded me of this, [VIDEO] (no supermarket involved though)
If you're interested in seeing someone make these take a look at this Primitive Technology video and the others he produces: [VIDEO] Make sure you turn on captions to see descriptions of what's going on.
I definitely agree. I think this is the video you mentioned. I have watched it myself many times as well. "Primitive Technology: Cord drill and Pump drill" > [VIDEO]
