Pump drill

(1/1)

jturner:
I just made one with a bamboo shaft and ash flywheel. Will this work for a fire drill? The drill bit is my first atempt at knapping. Ill get pics up later. should have taken some before i used it and wore down the point

square shooter:
What did you make the bitt out of ? :)
Ya, a good photo would be a boon.  ;D

ricktrojanowski:
Yep, I've seen the pump drill used for friction fire with a small piece of horseweed as the bit. 

jamie:
pump drills work great for both fire and drilling through materials, even stone.
