Playing around today when I was making a hand drill set for someone. On a good day with a slightly longer spindle I am pretty sure I can get it in one pass...

Holy cow Abo.....Thats impressive. :eek:
You suck. :p

I didnt have sound on the video, what kind of wood combo was that?

Friggin awesome bro. :thumbup:
 
Thanks my friend! Mullein on Boxelder, one of my favorite combinations, mostly because mullein is everywhere and boxelder is in many states.
 
I like something a little faster. This pump drill is primitive fire making on steroids.

I harvested 5 or 6 stalks of Mullien for hand drill.....How much pressure is actually needed??....Probably hard to explain that, but I thought Id ask. Ive seen nobody rock a hand drill like yourself.

Quite a bit do get a quick coal. I can do the same speed with just a little less pressure than to get a coal, and the dust will be light colored. That extra bit of pressure turns it black. Kinda like 211*F and water; all you got is hot water. One more degree... you got steam, and that can power a locomotive!
