Back in a generarion without power tools.

Or metal drill bits

I guess that drill bit was cut from twigs and bird feathers.

Howd they machine the metal drillbits

The electric power tool has made sanding and polishing much easier. But how long did it take ancient Romans to make marble columns and statues with chisels, hammers and sandpapers? No wonder stonemasons occupied one big part of the ancient society.

It's called an "Indian drill" mechanism, used for millennia by Native Americans to start fires through friction as well as for drilling holes

or just use one of these like a normal person

30/40 years back India used this method.

That’d be great today for off grid.
