Crafting A 2 Piece Bow Drill Spindle From 100 Year Old Pine

For a year, I walked past these thin boards near the sidewalk on my way to the walking trail. They appeared to be old pieces of siding that probably bounced out of a pickup truck while on their way to the dump. Many times, I considered showing you the very easy process of making a thick enough bow drill spindle out of materials that are too thin. Today's the day! Let me show you how to make a 2-piece spindle that you can bind together with screws, cordage, or what I’m using today, tape. Please follow the LINKs below and SUBSCRIBE. Thank You!

Hi David! It would be difficult to have produced a better follow up video to yesterday's edition than this one. Another fitting example of foraging and improvisation in the urban environment. Great content, my friend!

Wonder video Mr west I appreciate you sharing it 👍👌🔥

thanks David

Always fascinating to see how you are able to do that 😊

Good video David, thanks for sharing YAH bless !

Liked the video as always. But I think someone covered the hole between the poles with that two boards intentionally. 😊

One Mora Companion,plus a length of cord , plus a stick and some roadside wood equals fire. Good stuff.👍 I’m real sorry to hear that you have to suffer a yapping dog. I’ve been there. It got me to wondering if there is such a thing as an anti hearing aid? Something you could program to cancel one specific sound. When I was a smoker, a filter per ear was effective. Yup. I want an anti hearing aid that can make things as QUIET as I need to stay sane. With remote control.😁👍

👍

Matches? We don’ need no stinkin’ matches!

Did the string from the bow go inside the split portion of the spindle or was it just twist wrapped?

yes finally some peace from the demon dogs lol

COULD YOU MAKE A SPPINDLE WITH A KNOT IN IT OR WOULD IT BREAK IN THE KNOT.
