Bowdrill fire from start to finish

So today I wanted to see if I can get a bow drill going and show you guys the process from all the way from just collecting the tinder to blowing it into flame after getting the coal. So I got today some basswood I'm going to be working with. I got a bass board, bass board. You can see I just put the original starting hole in it with my knife. Just a little drill there to give the spindle somewhere to rest while I'm drilling. And you want the one side of the spindle that's going to go into the fireboard uh to be a dull point and i like my other side to be a long point um it that helps reduce the friction with the bearing block so the bearing block or the socket whatever you want to call it is just a piece of hard hard uh it's either oak or maple i believe this one's maple and spins in there but the other way upside down uh today i'm using my My Kephart, my new one I got in a trade, I believe it's a JK Kephart, it has the K there. I don't know if you can see it in this camera. What I really like is it's my first convex knife, and I'm liking it a lot. It's a 4.5 inch blade, 4.5 inch handle for the original style Kepharts. Alright, so as for tinder, to get the fire going after I've blown it into a ball, I'm going to use this dried, some kind of shrub, dried grassy shrub. really really airy really dry really thin and then i got my tinders in order that i'm going to put them on i've got some small sticks that i've shaved some larger twigs larger sticks larger sticks larger sticks and that's just to start it off with that's not even the actual fuel that's just like i said to start it off and to blow it into a tinder uh the tinder bundle i have to blow it into flame is some basswood inner fibers and then there's punk wood inside I've never tried it with the punk wood inside i believe it's just gonna make the coal go longer but we'll see so putting the drill or the spindle inside the bow you want to put it in so that the spindle is not in between the string and the bow you want on the outside so i'm just gonna start drilling before i cut the notch to burn it in a little bit i hope you guys can see this I want to place my place my foot close to the hole okay so that's pretty good I got that burned in the hole burned in there and the spindle fits I'm gonna cut the notch I'll be right back as you can see i cut the notch you want it to be i don't know a quarter of the way in the hole so that the dust gathers in the notch and that's where the ember forms okay so when I start drilling this time I'm gonna get enough speed to where it starts to smoke and then after I build in some some some dust I want to go give it up my all and try and see if I can get the ember on the first time I've got a little piece a little sliver of wood underneath to catch the ember so that I can transport it to my tinder bundle i used to use my knife but I don't like putting the ember on it anymore smoking it's smoking a lot and that's a good sign don't want to blow on it you want to fan it with your hand because the moisture in your breath can put it out see it's smoking there hope you guys can see this i'm trying to do this and film at the same time it's kind of hard. Ember goes into the tinder bundle. I transfer it to my fire pit. I got fire. I put the dry twigs on, or sorry, the dry grasses or reeds or whatever on. I'm gonna throw my small sticks on, throw my other small sticks on. I want to crisscross them so there's a lot of oxygen in between the two. And I could even start throwing my bigger sticks on now because the flames are pretty big. All right, well that's pretty much it. I'm going to tend to the fire a little bit And I think I'm gonna cook up an egg in the coals. Maybe I'll videotape that too, but that was it for my bow drill tutorial I hope it was easy to understand if you guys have any questions at all about it. Let me know I'd love to help you out. I'm just learning too myself. So it's uh, it feels good when you can do that guys, take it easy
