all my attempts have been like that!
My first attempt resulted in doing my shoulder in lol.
In case it helps, I'll post this video again. Easily the best video I have found on bow drill technique, well presented and easy watching.
Cheers for that Bernie - brilliant video! Might have another go this week if I can find some wood other than pine!
I was trying pine on pine no wounder it didn't work, haha! But thank you all I relly appreciate all the advice. I am goin to try willow I think next time. And you are right about doin in your shoulder in mine was killin me, haha!
I will have another go and let you know how I get on.
Thanks again everyone
