Bowdrill with Chaga (tinder fungus)

So I wanted to show you guys a different way to do the bow drill today. I've never seen any videos about it. I have done it once before, and I think it'll be new to some of you guys. So this is a piece of chaga, or tinder fungus. See, it's got the black crusty outside and the orange corky inner. I got a bunch of it here. I'm going to attempt to make the basswood of the tinder fungus. And the last time I did it, I didn't have to cut a notch or collect dust or anything. After I drilled it for a while, the whole thing just kind of embered up on me. So I'm going to see if I can do that again today and show you guys that. Alright, so I cut a piece of it, squared it off like a flat piece. I got my handhold, my drill, and my bow in place with my toes this time because it's pretty small. So I made a little indent into it with the spindle now, so hopefully that won't happen again. close to my toe so i imagine it's gonna burn a little bit but not yet as you can see it was smoking quite a bit i imagine it'll work i don't see why it wouldn't this time it's not working my spindle's too dry or too soft i want to try again with a harder spindle i'll be back all right so i got a harder spindle before i was using basswood now i'm using poplar see if this helps battery's about to die so i don't really know what this is gonna be yep i got it you see that that's the chaga itself on fire or uh ember that's not the the dust in a notch that's actual chaga on fire so it just goes to show you if uh if you believe something can work and it doesn't work the first time uh try try a different way around it you know i knew it i knew i did it before and uh i must use a harder spindle before as well so there you go as a baseboard no notch
