One Stick, No Knife Firebow

[Mack]

Very cool. Next, let's see it without the stick!

That's what the wife said after the son was born.

Thanks for all of your tutorials Rick.:thumbup:

How the hell did I miss this one

Your good with wood Rick, I don't care what your wife says about you:thumbup:

Good stuff Rick!:thumbup:

I'm a fan of the split-stick fireboard. Very quick and versatile. You can also use a straight stick and saw perpendicular to create the same results.

One thing I noticed, and you probably know this but I thought it was worth mentioning, was the nipple forming at the tip of the spindle.
This is a sign that the notch is dead center of the spindle, a bit too close, and although it works, it also eats through spindles and fireboards.

Weather's looking good around you! We're on our second beautifully warm and sunny day! Great weekend so far!

I was aware of that.(Afterwards) The spindle wandered up on me:jerkit: ahem... yeah that's it... not ideal, but effective.

Hey Rick, speaking of books, Alan was supposed to write one. Did he?

He wrote 3-4 books and has never published them.

I can't picture what your talking about here?

I also don't understand this part?
