Friction Fire | EASIER Bow Drill Using a Small Spindle

In an earlier video I was successful in making an ember and igniting a tinder bundle using a goldenrod stem for a spindle. It turned out to be extremely easy. I wondered if using a small diameter wood spindle would be just easy. I carved down a pine spindle I had on hand to the diameter of the goldenrod spindle and it turned out that making an ember with the small spindle was the easiest bow drill ember I have ever made. I need to point out that this is a first attempt. I need to experiment with this many more times using a variety of woods in order to see if this can be repeated consistently. But for now I am excited about small diameter spindles for bow drill. Stand by.
