A reattempt of a mini bow drill set that fits in an Altoids tin. This time I went with a 2 piece bow.
Components:
Bow = Dog Fennel, a pen cap to pair the 2 halves (7" long)
Bow string = Nylon twine
Fireboard= Elderberry
Spindle = Cattail
Bearing-Block = Oak (with a little barsoap as lubricant)
Tinder = Saw Palmetto hair then pine needles
