Do you cut the bottom of the trench flat somehow, to fit the edge of the plow? Or is it V shaped, and the friction flattens it? I’m having a hell of a time with this. I thought hand drill was hard, damn. Excellent video, and in high winds. Good job.

No you want it flat to round. Feather the edge of the trench so you don’t fight with the walls some wood needs deep trenches kinda too build lots of dust

[@Johnhanddrill]

My wood is soft so I used the wider tip and lots of pressure I used less of a angle while plowing to build up my dust

[@PaleoPassion]

Nice one that looks hard I’d have to give that a try next

[@Johnhanddrill]

Good

[@Johnhanddrill]

I explained how to do it in one of my recent fire plow videos

Since the sun is shining, just use a piece of glass and have a fire in 1minute or less!

[@Johnhanddrill]

No
