hi everyone, I made my first bow drill today and have managed to get an ember, i have to say thank you to Kepis as he gave me a set to work from and copy he also gave me good advice regarding techneque and what wood to use.
so I went to my local wooded area to find some dead standing trees to use and I came across some birch and cut of a branch took it home and prepped for use. now the set does not look neet and pretty but it is functional and manage to gain ember after 4 attemps. im so chuffed
not sure if u can see the smoke in the pic but i promice its there
