i first did the bow drill last october managed it first time and again the next time then i left it alone for a bit.
now i've said i'll show it to my scout group so i'm trying to do it again and i'm properly struggling. i'm trying all sorts of different woods mainly willow and hazel. earlier i got loads of smoke and a lot of powder as well but then it started making a bloody awful squeaking noise and i gave in.
does anyone know what causes the squeaking and how you can stop it?
cheers,
matt
