Excellent job! Holding the tinder nest up at/above eye level when blowing will keep that smoke out of your eyes.

excellent mate. you did it and thats what really counts and like you said you let the ember ( coal ) grow a little more before you transfer it now, cheers

The purpose of keeping the tinder in your pocket (providing it is dry) is to help it to dry out if it is slightly wet. I've been really grateful that the stuff lights when it's windy or raining or there's a mountain lion coming to swallow me up... It was only when less experienced that I rushed to get the loosely formed ember into the tinder. I've since found it better to let the coal form to make sure it's hot and stable enough when I move it.

u dont want a perfectly round piece of wood, an 6 or even 8 sided piece is best, it is round enough for the string to move smoothly over it, but it gives it grip on the string and spindle also

Yeah putting a few straight edges on it is sometimes useful, I have done so when the cord is particularly slippy, or the drill hard. But come on folks, telling everyone what they need, and taking no notice of the fact that people use different techiniques to reach the same end is quite silly. I learnt the basics from a book by Ray Mears, but the finer points I worked out for myself, because they worked for me.

oh i shouldn't worry too much about that, as long as it's roughly straight and roughly round like the one above then you won't have too much trouble.
