Hey!
Here is the video on how to make fire using handdrill. My younger brother (age 19) is making fire and i'm filming. The notch is already created. The wood used here is: horseweed spindle + basswood board. For tinder we used pine needles. The video was created 27th december it was realy cold and needles were bit moist so it takes bit longer to blow the tinder in flames .
Here is the list of woods for spindles and boards witch we found to be good for hand drill method.
Board woods:
Basswood - one of the best woods for board
Aspen - works nice aswell
Willow - hard to make ember
Spindle:
Horseweed - works great
Mullein - works nice aswell
Cattail - I've heard its good but I haven't managed to make ember with it yet
