Tom👍👍 Very nice pump drill demo and construction video. These have been used for fire making also, like a regular bow drill. Great video, thanks my brother.

[henryshearman]

That was a really clear concise easy to understand video, thankyou, going to make one now.

[LaineyBug]

I would still love to see a video on the wee little pots & utensils for your butter & honey!

[QuantumMechanic_]

Thanks for an excellent tutorial . All the best for all future endeavors.

[ianandresen]

That was good! I love the way you explain clearly on your "how to do" videos! Thank you

[ralphdempsey]

Brilliant video! I really enjoyed watching and I am definatly going to give this a go...thank you for the hard work making it!

[stevensibbet]

You made a chuck for your drill bits (out of the plug). Excellent!

I watched this about an hour ago, went and made one with some scrap wood in the barn. This was pretty cool and simple to make, thank you for teaching.

Excellent construction, mixing old and new materials to get a traditional look. Clever way to change bits. I'd been searching for pump drills a while and only found the fire version. Then your video showed up in my feed and satisfied my need. Thank you! I'm truly grateful that we can find help and answers from strangers on the other side of the planet nowadays (I'm from Quebec, Canada). I've picked up spoon carving and old hand tool restoration during the pandemic, and expanded into more woodworking and bushcraft skills. Thanks again for a great video ❤

This channel is incredible, I'm so happy to have found it. No doubt it will blow up in popularity any time, everything is so clear and articulate and the finished works are both aesthetically gorgeous and very useful

[Happycamper]

I made one out of an empty Copenhagen dip can, a shishcabob stick, a spatula stick, sewing string and little duct tape. 🤣

[deborahdanhauer]

I can’t believe I just now subscribed to this! I must have missed the mention before now. Oh well, better late than never… I have some catching up to do🐝🤗❤️

[gramma]

my Grandfather taught me how to make one of these would spend hours drilling holes in bricks

[sousalarson]

So in order to make a drill you have to...have a drill?

[earlburkhart]

Wonder if using a hockey puck drilled out with a small step drill bit ( to allow for improfections in stick part of drill ) & rubber would conform/"stick"- hold fast to stick part of drill would work well or not.

[surfearth]

Cool video, seems like it would make a good drill for fire starting?

[Elchapo-ccgg]

Is it okay to put a extra long stick so that when it pump it has more spin ?

[firesmurf]

Great job! BTW the flywheel it's could be from wood or it must be from stone or steel or any harder and more heavy thing?

[budwilliams]

Looks like you used some glue on the flywheel.

I'm confused. I thought the whole point of creating primitive tools was to show how to do it with natural materials found in the natural environment.
Why use modern tools to create primitive tools? If one has modern tools, wouldn't it make more sense to just use those to get the job done?
