Shieeet. After a bunch of work, the drill bits are starting to get usable but not good enough and I suspect with a hand-cranked drill they won't be the best tool for the job. I doubt I can fix the log stable enough to use electric drill, but maybe I have to try that in the end. For now my plan is that I cut a little with the hand-cranked, then chisel away the splinters causing the drill to stuck. But all these I have to leave for the next weekend. This sucks, but since I'm basically learning this, no biggie.
