This is something that I started writing a good while ago (probably almost a year ago) and then never got round to finishing, but having just read rich59's excellent post on hand drill fires, its spurred me on in working to get it finished.

About the only bit that I consider 'finished' in any way is the page on the bow drill, which has a video of a bow drill in use - the other pages all have some bits and bobs, but a lot of it is just my own opinion and experience, your mileage may vary (and I would really like any comments you may have!)
rich59 - I'll PM you, but wold you mind me including your post on hand drilling, or at the very least, cribbing it in great part to extend my own page (which is quite lacking in detail) ?
Hope this helps some people - I am more than happy to take any suggestions, or better, contributions to make this a truly useful source of information on all things to do with fire.
