How to Build a Bow Drill Fire | Live Free or Die: DIY


I’m thorne I live in the forest this is
how I build a bow-drill fire got a
tinder bundle get cattail down inside
and this is tulip poplar on the outside
this is the ember plate that’ll catch my
coal this is my hand hold the stone that
I found and word it out the pretty
crucial part of this sad is having a
spindle that’s gonna work with this
hearth board the fire board carved a
notch in here the knotch goes all the
way to the center
what will happen the spindle will set in
there my bow will spin this the powder
from this and from this both will push
down through the notch and hold a coal
and sustain a coal for just long enough
for me to get it from my ever played
into my tinder bundle right now I’m
putting facets on the spindle on the
bottom edge and that’s going to help
create friction up here I’ve pointed it
and I don’t want any friction on this
point because it’s got to move freely
it’s like that so those you can grease
it up
you haven’t had a creak slam in a while
that makes a little a little faster one
all the friction to be on the low end
this is a corded buckskin with the grain
on and it’s been a good string it’s got
a little bit few more fires in it lock
in and burn in let’s get the hole
started
you
that’s how I build a dog
