Sponsored by TWIST - Tablet Weavers International Studies & Techniques
This talk about making holes in tablets reminded me of my trip to the Viking ship museum last November. The display of weaving things found in one grave held me like a magnet. There were niddy noddy's, looms and spindles that I could have immediately put to good use. And the threaded tablets were fabulous. What amazed me was how perfect the little holes were in the tablets. How do you think they made those holes before there were electric drills? Have there always been hand drills? Inupiut and Yupik Eskimo ivory carvers years ago used drills that had a kind of violin bow to twist the drill. Was that what the Vikings used?
