Love the bowdrill. Never had much success with hand drill, seldom fail with bowdrill.

Thanks!

Very impressive and educational. Keep the videos coming.

I really enjoyed this video, and i am now going to make a bow drill. Thx!

LUDA! Nice job man your videos just popped up on my dash so that's pretty neat. Keep it up

So I've attempted to start a fire with bow drill 3 times now. I say attempted because i have made smoke, I've chared the end of the spindle, I've even had both ends of spindle smoking, hut no eber. When i quite strocking the bow, the smoke stops, or sometimes the string rides up on the spindle and it flys out of the string. I think I'm close but i must be doing something wrong. Is the placement of the notch, how open, how deep into the chared hole important? Does tge spindle have to be perfectly round? What do you do when your cordage slips on the spindle? These are questions i have not seen anyone address.

That was super interesting to watch! I've always been curious about how this technique worked. I think I managed to follow along for the most part, but you threw out terminology I didn't know! I'd love to have stuff explained like I have no prior knowledge (like you did with the Cambian (?) Layer.) What's a pitch stump? Do I want pitch? What's a bearing block? Fix loop? Witches hair? Speckled horses hair? Etc. It could even be cool to just have little informative text overlays that define your terms or explain what's going on. Kind of like those old vh1 pop up videos, haha. Good stuff man, looking forward to the next one.

Two over hand loops is a bounce half hitch?

That was a linguistic mess. " It's time to start a bowdrill." "...techniques in lighting up a bow drill." You don't want to "light up" your bow drill. You want to ignite the dust produced by the rubbing of the bow drill's spindle against the fireboard to create an ember. You talk about trying to light up your bow drill in more than one place. No, we don't want to light our bow drill. You miss identified your fireboard, saying, "Now for the spindle," after you were already using your spindle to do a burn-in to find out where you want to put the notch. Why are you making another spindle to put a notch into? If this was the first fire bowdrill instructional I'd had, I could see myself becoming confused by the way you said things. I will avoid your other videos because of your apparent inadequate communication skills.
