You're very articulate and pleasurable to listen to. You'd make a great teacher, sir. Thank you for this video.
THE MEANING OF LIFE "SPOKEN WORD"
ua-cam.com/video/7d16CpWp-ok/v-deo.html
now that was a masterpiece of engineering thousands of years ago
Torsion + momentum, beautiful device
Necessity is the mother of invention….
If you want to shortcut the job, use a part worn bench grinder wheel for the flywheel. It is already round and is almost certainly pretty well balanced. Saves a lot of time if you just want to demonstrate the method for kids.
I'm always blow away by ingenuity of our ancestors.
another perfect video to watch at 2am
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow, awesome. I've been looking at bushcraft vids for a couple years now and never came across this before. Brilliant.
Sure miss your videos, Jim. The amount of information I learned from you over the years is amazing - you made me the flint knapper I am today! Best from Montana, hope you're well.
Thanks and best to you as well. I do love Montana!
*I made one of these from just wood and rope and tree sap when I was about 12 years old. I used a knife, hatchet, and machete as my tools for crafting one of these. I used a heavy piece of fresh wood as the counter weight. I used dry wood for the rest of it. The fresh wood as a counter weight was still filled with moisture which made it a little heavier than dry wood but dry wood can be used as a counter weight as well. I used only materials I found out in the woods next to a river except for the rope. I split the handle and counter weight wood in half in order to create the hole in the middle for the spindle to go through. I coated the inner part that was split with sap and bound it with rope. The sap acts like glue when it dries. It also helps keep the rope in place where it's tied. The Pump Drill works really well for making fire and it's the easiest to use next to a magnifying glass and sun light. I never liked the bow drill but the pump drill is awesome.*
Thanks for sharing
Old world tech and still a scout! I wonder if young people are paying attention? Fine video! Need one in every home!
Silver Schooner Some of the old skills of the past may be needed in the future.....thanks
paleomanjim You are welcome, sir! My philosophy: The more you know, the more you Know! Great channel and I subscribed!
my 10 year old daughter and i just started a fire w our bow drill. totally worth the effort. she is enthralled. pump drill next
+Silver Schooner And don't forget, "No matter where you go, there you are"!
Great demo. I havnt used a pump drill yet... but its on the to-do list.
".. burk.. uhm.. bark.. " ;) Great vid, as always, Jim. So instructional and full of expertise. Big thanks.
Cool. I've never seen that before.
Thanks for sharing.
This is such a cool devise. It's one of those things that you don't need but you just got to have one. Can't wait to start on mine. Thanks for sharing this. Great video.
icanfix1 Yeah, it is cool and a lot of fun to share with the family, especially kids
I've seen many fire making techniques, but I have never seen anything like this. This is super cool! Love it!
Nick Luecke Hope you give it a try, lots of fun....
Nice!! Awesome lesson of survival skills
Only 30 pumps to get that ember and no hurry.. Wow love the information ty
Great effective demo on fire starting
Learned something new today thanks for sharing this technique with us.
I always enjoy and learn so much from your videos!
great job, i have seen this method before, but never constructed this in the field. I need to do this in the field. very good video .thanks
it's my first time watching your UA-cam channel sir I'm from Philippines this helps alots..This is amazing techniques👏👏Godbless you..
And Have a Great day😊☺☺
Thank you very much brother for the video! I am from Colombia South America here for the indigenous communities it is very important to produce the sacred fire in this way in fact it is called "origin fire" or "original fire" and this is always used in this way for important rituals or ceremonies with power plants , word circles, etc... Fire is considered something sacred, it is also a grandfather, the oldest in the Universe! Thank you
Well said! Thanks
Great video...definitely going to make one!
Thank you very kindly for the demonstration and tutorial!
You're very welcome!
This is a great video. Thanks for sharing.
Absolutely brilliant mate ,keep drilling 👏
Thanks, will do!
Great demonstration, thanks for sharing,
Absolutely amazing! I'm trying my best to learn as much as i can about survival / outdoors tips🤟🏾
Great skills to have, especially in todays world!!!
Excellent tutorial!!!
great video, I have never tried to make a friction fire,I hope to do so this year and I will be on the lookout for bamboo. g8 Tony
Great video! Helped me a lot.
THis is the first vid I saw that told the weight of the flywheel. Good stuff man
The engineering behind this is genius.
Great instructional video.
Very cool. Thanks for the video.
Never saw anything like this before...Neat idea and I might have to try it some time if I can make it right !!
Parabéns pelo vídeo, mestre!
Brill video n easy to understand. Great work and thank you sir.
Great video !
You Sir are a pleasure to watch and you explain things nicely down to the smallest detail.
Thank you for passing your knowledge to us.
I am always looking for knowledge diamonds like this one to pass down to my son and hopefully he will pass them to his kids some day.
It is sad that we loose things like this with all the technology that we have this days.
Thanks again and keep passing the knowledge.
Bill Moutaftsis Thanks Bill
Thank you a lot really i enjoyed when i watched this film it is so useful and you explain very nicely
Thank you again
Excellent Video and Presentation!!!!!
Thank you kindly!
thank you is good way to make fire you are a good man .iam from morocco.
Very cool. Thanks. Never seen that one. Would probably be hard to put it together in a pinch if you found yourself in the woods with no tools but if you had it with you could be a life saver
I have seen this drill used in making abacus's in chineese wood joinery. Drilling a hole and using bamboo as a pin to lock dowel rods into place. It is pretty efficient.
It is wonderful to know a different use for this tool - making embers.
Thank you for taking the time to show this tool. You're pretty cool to show this.
thank you very very much, for share.god bless you hi from México.
im going to try this i have never had a good xp starting fiers like this but with this nice idea im going to give it a go
Fantastic demonstration my friend thank you for sharing your success with us! Cheers from Vancouver Island in Canada! Cheers, Jerbs #22ADAY 👍🏼🇺🇸🔥🔪🔥🇨🇦👍🏼
Great tutorial, like all of your vids!
i will make one to practice in the backyard.....good video!!
Yes it's for the backyard. You don't really want to carry stones in your backpack.
Perfectly clear !
Very Cool! I got to try this one.
Very very nicely done PaleomanJim .
Great show! Thank you!
Sean Anderson Glad you enjoyed it....
Great video man.
we need to teach our kids these kind of things. very valuable lessons. once you learn how you don't forget
Thanks. Very good and well explained vid.
Glad it was helpful!
amazing, man!
Thank you, this is excellent.
linuxgirl You are welcome
That is bad ass im gonna try and make one super cool
Very cool. I need to come visit you and learn
It looks a lot easyer than making fire with a hand drill, I guess even children could manage it to get a ember ...
Good video
I've never seen this type of tool.Freakin' awesome!
Bowtie41 I like it too, it shows how clever our ancestors were! I often wonder how it was invented, by thoughtful insight or accident?
paleomanjim Bowtie41 For sure, great idea passed on to today.
amazing! thanks
thats awesome im going to build one great video thanx
Very clever indeeedd!
Wow, awesome sir!
I've never seen before.
#creative
Merci pour la vidéo !
No way!!! That is damn sweet paleomanjim!! :)
Great idea gotta have one
Great experience and lots of fun to make and use. If kids are around get them involved, they love this stuff!
Like 👍 good Work. Good survival metod of fire 🔥 🔥
really cool Jim. thanks.
+Lisa Parker -- Legacy You are welcome
anthropology was my favorite subject in college and here you are bringing it to life. I wanted to focus on making fire pots from gathering the clay through firing. art was also one of my favorite subjects. I want to make some of these fore starters esp the one in this video. do I have to find a round stone? cut it? obviously I'll need to drill out the hole. but what are the other steps? can I buy them?
+Lisa Parker -- Legacy
Since you were talking about clay, just use the clay, Lisa.
Shape it like flatbread ler it dry and then burn it.
If you want to be more authentic, let it dry first, make your fire and then burn that clay flatbread.
:D
+Ibnu Hamdan Z. thank you!
very instructive.thanks. and people everywhere may find themselves using this at some point not just Poland. why all the nm comments.???I also love some of the old school techniques they were and are the best.
Great lesson. How have I not known about this very old method of making fire?
Thanks for watching!
GENIUS! :D
neat i would love to be taught this
that's creativity
Your mind is always working. Love it. Great videos! Can you make a Hardin video? I wanna know how to get the square chipping that goes along with that archaic time period
Genius!
nice!
Quick question, this video had 2858 views on May 11 in Poland! What is going on in Poland to explain this? Just curious and appreciate any reply....thanks
paleomanjim they have just discovered fire.
+paleomanjim quick answer. We've forgotten this method so it's interesting. 2858 views it's 1.3% of views, where is the rest?
+fr 66r Yeah, just seems strange. This video usually averages 400 views or so a day, but 2 days ago it suddenly had 8000 views in one day! Curious how that can be. This time the views were spread over the world, must be social media or something.....
+paleomanjim I will explain you the why! A youtuber named Primitive Technology made a video about this method. He has a lot of viewers/subs and make useful and fun Primitive videos. Like making a house from wood/stone/clay and stuff. So people, like me, try to find more info about the method and watching more videos on in. I am really interesting at the old ways.
This method is an ancient one dude... we all copied it from those ancient times or w/e
I saw a documentary on a man in China making dominoes, and he used this for making the engravings, and I thought to myself that this would be awesome for making fire. And yes, it turns out that it is awesome for it.
Scrap5000 Yes, the pump drill is still used in many places of the world where electricity is not available. Very handy machine. Who knows, someday in the future it may be needed again!
thank you
so cool.....
Brilliant
nice video
Thank YOu!
that is a very smart device
What an amazing technology! How could someone in the wilderness think something like that?
I wonder the same thing myself! The invention of the bow and other simple machines may have been accidental but the pump drill is complex and a lot of thought must have gone into making it. Oskar Nendes
@@paleomanjim 👽
nice very good
These is useful for scouts
Where did you find the flat sandstone? What other types of stone would work? Awesome demonstration. Would like to build one of these.
My grandpa used to drill turquoise with one.. It was much smaller. Very cool.
Thanks
Thank you 😊 thank-you and thank you 😊
You are so welcome
I go now and make one !
Let us know how it works, good luck....

Thanks for making and sharing this video.
What wood is your spindle ?
maybe i missed it.
I just found your channel and you are fascinating to watch and listen to . I noticed you haven't put up a video in a long time . I hope you are well and still making things . Best wishes to you Jim .
Glad you enjoyed the videos, all well here, I just have a lot of hobbies, maybe too many!
@@paleomanjim I know the feeling of having to many hobbies . Trying to find time for them all is the problem . I try to rotate them around so I can spend time on each one . Good to hear from you my friend .
Bbjbmkbbbhh
fantastico
December 2020 and I am here :)
2021, still going strong
What is the counter weight made out of and how might you go about making one? Great vid, thanks!
The counter weight is made from sandstone. Any material will work, even wood, but heavier materials will work better. I have another video showing how to make a pump drill from start to finish using easily available materials. Even cement or clay will work for the counter weight.
