Hello all. Hope everyone enjoyed their Independence Day.
I'm new posting here. Have been reading here and elsewhere for a while.
In the spirit of the title of this thread I decided to take the plunge and make a bow drill and start a fire with it for the first time. It took a hour or two to make the parts and about an hour of effort refining the parts and developing the technique. I made and good coal and started a birdsnest of tinder. Next time I will have to have some hot dogs and fireworks ready!
Had a good time with the whole project.
Thanks to all for sharing your knowlage
