Hello Global Tribe of PhyreKeepers (GTOP)! 02/07/2020 – Our 6th Vlog opens with “getting crazy” with Phyre Dojo’s “Primal Basic #4″ (PB4): The (PD) Pump Drill. I didn’t have time this week to do a new PhyreHack ( igniting a new material I’ve never done before.) I have gotten some new tools for my Workshop and have been trying to learn new software…. YAAAAAYYYY….. (Not!) I pulled this from my Hiden Denki Densho video archive just to show you how I’m not just playing “Mad Scientist,” but also “Mad Sensei.” If I remember correctly, this was about 2012. I was experimenting with all the Primal Basic 8 Methods (PB8). In this one instance, in going with the “Dojo” theme, I decided to try my hand at turning one of my (many) practice swords, in this case, a “SHINAI” or Bamboo Practice Sword specifically used for the Japanese art of KENDO! into a large (PD) Pump Drill. Here, I use the SHINAI as a (PD) Pump Drill Spindle by adding a giant Pressure Bar Brace (PBB) and a large wooden block FlyWheel. Other videos include using FlyWheels of: Soapstone, Clay Wheel, Bamboo Slats, Rocks, Chopping Blocks, SawBlades, etc…. Enjoy! OPENING MUSIC BY: www.DINWITHIN.com There is a Universe of many other Methods (Basics) waiting for you to Discover and Explore… Still VERY busy trying to update my PhyreDojo site and fulfilling Orders while making these VLOGS and Balancing Life in general… Gambarimasho Yo! (Japanese for “Let’s Keep Going!) “May everyone around you feel and be safer because you are there.” Joe Lau, RN As always, Phyre Dojo is available and here to support the Global Tribe of PhyreKeepers toward Mastery of Phryction PhyreKeeping. info@PhyreDojo.com http://www.PhyreDojo.com

#0037 – Phyre Phryday V/Blog 01/22/2021 – PurpleHeart (Peltogyne Spp.) (PD) Pump Drill: HOMESICK FOR JAPAN! Hello Global Tribe of PhyreKeepers (GTOP)! 01/22/2021 – Welcome to Phyre Dojo’s 37th Phyre Phryday Vlog.  I am INCREDIBLY HOMESICK for Japan, but Japan, as well as a lot of the World, is not letting anyone from the US into their countries, and for legitimate and obvious reasons. In these videos, I am teaching with TAKU KAWAGUCHI of WILD AND NATIVE ( https://wildandnative.com/ ). These are Taku’s students at his bushcraft school where we went over and demonstrated EVERY METHOD IN THE WORLD. On the first day of the Workshop, we did (PD) PUMP DRILL. And, (PD) PUMP Drill’s “claim to fame” is that in fact you could do HIGHER DENSITY Woods that are just TOO HARD for (ED) Egyptian Drill, that’s approximately on a Janka Hardness Scale of about 2,000 to 3,000 respectively, BUT, you can do them with the least amount of effort out of any and all other Methods. The (PD) PUMP Drill Set here is made of PURPLEHEART (Peltogyne Spp.). The Spindle Reloads, Pressure Bar Brace, Reloading Spindle and the Hearth! ALL from those materials! You haven’t lived until you’ve tried to make Phryction Phyre Sets with the Woods you’re trying to LITE! Can’t wait to make more! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peltogyne https://www.wood-database.com/purpleh… PURPLEHEART (Peltogyne Spp.) has a Janka Hardness Rating of 2,520!! (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…) Janka hardness test – Wikipedia This was the 1st time I demonstrated the S.T.E.A.M. possibilities of Phryction PhyreKeeping at this level overseas. In January of 2020, at the the LES PRIMITIFS Tribe Workshop, we repeated that PURPLEHEART (Peltogyne Spp.) (PD) PUMP Drill with another Set made of PURPLEHEART (Peltogyne Spp.). ENJOY!

#0040 – Phyre Phryday V/Blog 02/12/2021 – 2 (PD) Pump Drills & 1 (HD) Hand Drill Tests Color Codes: Hello Global Tribe of PhyreKeepers (GTOP)! 02/12/2021 – Welcome to Phyre Dojo’s 40th Phyre Phryday Vlog. So, for the past month I have been working on an Order for a (HD) Hand Drill Set. There was a communication that this person also wanted some Sets that would be appropriate for his 2 young girls. I said I would “come up with something.” So, as I mention in this week’s VLOG video, (and as well as multiple times in the past), for young children, the best Method to start them off with for an introduction into the Universe of Phryction PhyreKeeping is: The (PD) Pump Drill.  The 2nd Method young children should be challenged with in PhyreKeeping is: The (CD) Crutch Drill. It is the most structually stable for children to use than the most commonly known (BD) Bow Drill. Here is this week’s VLOG video, I test these 2 (PD) Pump Drill Sets and the 1 (HD) Hand Drill Set. I start with the (HD) Hand Drill Set comprised of a HORSEWEED (Conyza Canadensis) Spindle on a Western Red Cedar (Thuja Plicata) Bento Box Base Case Style HearthBoard. Then, I explain how I decided to create and personalize the 2 (PD) Pump Drill Sets made of WHITE ASH (Fraxinus Americana) with Reloads of Poplar (Poplus Spp.) on 2 different HearthBoards of Pine (Pinus Spp.) and Western Red Cedar (Thuja Plicata). Did they work? Did they work well? It’s all on the video…. There are MANY types of POPLAR (POPLUS SPP.) (Cottonwood/Aspen/Poplar), but here, I chose: https://www.wood-database.com/eastern… There are MANY types of PINE (PINUS SPP.), but here I chose: https://www.wood-database.com/eastern… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pine https://www.wood-database.com/western… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thuja_p…  WHITE ASH (Fraxinus Americana) has a JANKA HARDNESS RATING of 1,320. https://www.wood-database.com/white-ash/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fraxinu… (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…) Janka hardness test – Wikipedia ENJOY!
