si cela peut aider quelques lecteurs. Il y a du sable à ses pieds, quelques grains fin permettent un meilleur départ. Le bruit aigu qui couine est un signe, qui indique, justement d'ajouter quelques grains de sables et ou d'appuyer légèrement plus sur la paumelle. J'adore les vidéo de Tom, merci du partage.
Oh great! I am na entusiastic barefooter too from long time! i apreciate to live that way... is very funny to see how our feet and soles be adapted to that by the time.
hey Tom, I've been practicing bow drill for about a year now without much progress, I am able to get smoke and ash, but the ash is brown, not black, when I try to add pressure, the bow slips. Can you give me advice on what to improve on?
If the string is slipping it just means that it is too loose. First thing, tighten your string so that you have to crank on the spindle (drill) to get it to snap into place. Its hard to say without watching you, if you video it Id be happy to watch and critique... That said, if you are only getting a lot of brown dust it means you need to add more speed, you may even be putting too much pressure and too little speed. So, crank out some speed at the end and see if the dust turns black. What type of wood are you using?

Are both woods meant to be soft wood? I heard the bottom should be medium to hard and the spindle soft.
