New hand drill clip

[Jeff Wagner]

The new hand drill clip came in at a little over 2 MB so I loaded it up on the webpage. While interesting, I think drilling into tinder fungus does not display as well as a wooden hearth board in a video clip because you cant see what is going on inside the hole. This time the coal formed in the center of the hole and played peek-a-boo with me, only showing itself when I blew on it.

Look close and you will see smoke begin at about 7 - 8 seconds. By early in the second pass the smoke was rolling off so thick I had to blow it away to see what was going on down below. The new clip lies at the bottom of the page.

For your awareness, the same handrill sets as shown in the video clips and with which which I can consistently make a coal in 15 - 20 seconds are now available though Mr. Jonny Crockett, our European distributor in the UK. Cheers.

Here is an interesting approach to fire pistons.
