My son struggles with the same issue, what works is taking away the things he enjoys, like video games, youtube channel, etc. Not only do we typically see his grades improve, but he also gets...
One thing I am learning is the importance of a good bearing block. You mention two things that stood out to me: first, what you were using for a bearing block began to smoke, and two, you have a...

Thanks for all the feedback. I guess it makes since that it can't be expected to last long using it with a bow drill. I was wondering how well I was doing in making it, so I guess fairly well. ...
I think I heard you can eat the flowers, too. Is that correct?
But back to my question of cordage; how long should I expect the yucca cordage to last? As I said earlier, mine broke after getting...
