Hello Global Tribe of PhyreKeepers (GTOP)!

09/17/2021 – Welcome to Phyre Dojo’s 48th Phyre Phryday Vlog.

I jump around a little in this week’s VLOG.

1st, I give to you Sections #003 & #004 from Phyre Dojo’s (FORMER ONLINE COURSE) the “HIDEN DENKI DENSHO” or “HDD”. Hiden Denki Densho roughly translates from Japanese to “Trade Secrets, Electronic, Scroll.”

Section #003 is about a quick Personal History on me. Not that anyone cares – up until 2010. Of course that’s 11 Years ago. I filmed the HDD from 2010 – 2014.

Section #004 is called “The Tao Of Lau”, which serves to explain the Moral and Ethical Philosphy Phyre Dojo is based upon. In a NUTSHELL… Phryction PhyreKeeping’s ORIGINAL FUNCTION was to SAVE LIVES. Therefore, Phyre Dojo’s Phryction PhyreKeeping keeps this Original Fuction at the Forefront in its Teaching and Training.

So, In this week’s VLOG, 

– I re-MILL and put the PLUM (ED) Egyptian Drill HearthBoard on the CNC Machine.

– I received an AILANTHUS ALTISSIMA “TREE OF HEAVEN” Slab of of eBay from West Virginia and MILL it and put the HearthBoard on the CNC.

– I explain “defurring” HearthBoards that come off the CNCs on some Black Walnut (Juglans Nigra) and Black Cherry (Prunus Serotina) (ED) Egyptian HearthBoards

– Andrew Mathias had a specific question on LUMEN DRILLING for the (ED) Egyptian Drill Spindles. Here, I explain how it do that.

*********************

This particular PLUM is a “THUNDERCLOUD” (Prunus Cerasifera) variation. It is NOT a domestic Plum Tree (Prunus Domestica).

PURPLE-LEAVED “THUNDERCLOUD” PLUM (Prunus Cerasifera):

THEN, as promised, I am RELEASING PHYRE DOJO’s ONLINE COURSE CONTENT: the HIDEN DENKI DENSHO, into the wild to roam free….

Again, there are 46 Sections (currently) and I will be releasing these Sections every week until JULY 2022.

PLUM (Prunus Cerasifera) has an approximate JANKA HARDNESS of 1,550. This rating is (obviously) too hard/dense for a regular, standard (BD) Bow Drill, so the next (obvious) method is (ED) Egyptian Drill.

FOR COMPARISON: ( Atlantic White Cedar (Chamaecyparis Thoyoides) OR Western Red Cedar (Thuja Plicata) (i.e. “Your Cedar (BD) Bow Drill“) are ONLY Janka Hardness Rated: 350…)
