Sounds like a great day today, Jim! How big is the E-Tool? Is it trowel-size? Is it metal, or plastic?

Keep practicing that bow drill...you'll get it, eventually.

Good for you Jim! That's an important tool to have. TJ did a great video on Bowdrills. Just look for his post in this thread. I'll be using that when I do decide to make mine.
