hey there...i´ve been out this afternoon putting together a bowdrill-kit!! i desperatley needed one, cause the existing sets i put together are waiting quitely at the camp of the nature and wilderness-school of the alps(http://wildniszentrum.at)!...i forgot them last year after been helping at the basis-course up there...because they didn´t call for me..but so i´ve been practicing the handdrill this winter...everything happens for a reason! ...don´t you think?

i used the stone tools i once got from a mentor of mine, Hans Müllegger (http://www.flintknapper.at)! ...i´ve been a little fearfull at first to use the tools, but they did work out great!!...check him out, he does have awesome work to show...and he does aswell have some nice videos:

ok, back to the set...used a split spruce-logg-piece for the board, a nice heavy oak bow and a branch from an elder-tree (wich some landowner had cut down some years ago) as a spindle....the handhold is aswell fashioned from a small oak branch!
...quite hard to get the carving and especially the notching going with stone tools, but it does work...but takes time...really great time outdoors! ;-)
for the string i at first wanted to use the awesome vine-fibers i gathered in an earlier video...but ended up with usinganother natural cordage....go check out what happend....
thank for beeing here and watching this video...i learned alot from making the set...
and i´m happy with the outcome!
