I got tired of mining constantly so I started using dynamite. I don't know if this should be included in the wiki (someone else can add it if they want to), but there's a way to keep things pretty 'true' as far as your tunneling goes (which is hard to do with dynamite). While grabbled to a wall if you toss something out of your inventory it'll be thrown into the side of the wall and fall straight down. Due to how the mechanics work behind dynamite and water the item will just consistently fall straight down as you work (er, blow everything to tiny pieces), thus making it easier to keep your hellevator straight (though quite large). In order for this to work you need ALL of your inventory slots taken up or the item will either start to skew or go back into your inventory (which can be very annoying since it is hard to identify the origin of the blast site). This can be accomplished by placing 1 stone in all of your inventory slots or, really, any stackable item that you're carrying.

I highly recommend having the 'Cloud in a Bottle' accessory for this since skeletons like to jump in front of you like deer and the double jump can prevent insta-death (sometimes). Unless, of course, you want to invest in enclosing the darn thing.

I do wish some of the physics mechanics were more realistic (I know, I know, its a game that has a gold pickaxe rated higher than an iron one, I shouldn't be expecting realistic physic's engines), but I really don't mind it in this instant.
