A friend gave me an old broken hand-drill. All the metal mechanical parts still worked, but the plastic handles were loose and cracked. I took a redwood branch I had collected and created two new wooden handles to replace the plastic ones. I used a wire brush to remove the rust spots and the drill is as good as new.
