It's an absolute beauty. Since I saw the video for the first time, I wanted to make my own. Mine would include carvings and I'm afrait this would take so much time I'll never do it. Nevertheless, great job!

If you get pvc pipe and a dowel that is a tight fit and hammer the dowel into the pipe it will stop the wood splitting when you hammer a copper nail in it or put pressure on it

*I made one of these from just wood and rope and tree sap when I was about 12 years old. I used a knife, hatchet, and machete as my tools for crafting one of these. I used a heavy piece of fresh wood as the counter weight. I used dry wood for the rest of it. The fresh wood as a counter weight was still filled with moisture which made it a little heavier than dry wood but dry wood can be used as a counter weight as well. I used only materials I found out in the woods next to a river except for the rope. I split the handle and counter weight wood in half in order to create the hole in the middle for the spindle to go through. I coated the inner part that was split with sap and bound it with rope. The sap acts like glue when it dries. It also helps keep the rope in place where it's tied. The Pump Drill works really well for making fire and it's the easiest to use next to a magnifying glass and sun light. I never liked the bow drill but the pump drill is awesome.*

Wondering if a long strip cut from a cycle inner tube might be used to bind the piece to the frame. Every turn increases the total clamping force, and the amount of force is controlled by the tension you apply to each wrap. I have never tried it, but it might give the advantage of a strong full contact all along both side edges. The loose end could be secured with a piece of tape and the whole thing be released quickly. ..... I am not a flint knapper but I have used this many, many times in gluing up awkward wood joints...... and temporary repairs to car coolant hoses ;<)

I cringed at your using the blade of the knife to smooth the spindle by raking across. 😢 The square back edge would have done it just as well. Sharpening trauma i suppose 😅 making a concrete flywheel is clever simple and cheap though 😊
