  • I DID A FIRE (thom hanks) " cast away" like lol

  • How fucking G was that!

  • b for blowjob

    thumbs up if you misread

  • ASSUME THE POSITION

  • My teacher, a firecrafter, can pop a spark in 6 seconds

  • @jmiersmasexy apply a whole lot of pressure and only use dead wood. harder wood for the spindle, softer wood for the base board.

  • @Raksaht yup

  • @lhtrf a bit of both really. the base board needs to be a really soft wood, and the knife blade appears to be Scandinavian edge grind (perfect for wood cutting). a third thing that could of contributed to this is him pressing really hard :)

  • uhm.. is that knife REALLY sharp, or is that wood really soft? because you cut trough it like butter at 2:30 :O

  • So, if I understand this correctly, you should use a hardwood drill and a softwood hearth, right? Nice video and well-presented... thanks.
