Hey folks. I got my first ember today with the bowdrill on my first real attempt using it then couldn't do it again.
My thinking behind it not happening again was that my drill was becoming more warped as i used it. This might have been due to the heat drying it and warping it. Is this possible? It seemed that way.
Going on overnight tomorrow so will make a new set and try again. I'm going to double the lengh of my bow as today's one was very short and took a lot of effort.
If i double it's lengh i'll have twice the advantage and will still be able to manage it.
Any tips or advice would be very much appreciated.
