Has anyone here started a friction fire? Tried a few times, without success. It remains a goal.

I’ve never gotten a bow drill to work without the bottom piece (where the spindle rests) to have that notch to hold the “coal” that forms. A lot of trial and error to size that notch correctly, too. Wind easily affects too. Lots of variables.
