Ideally, the rock should be about fist sized.
Look for a rock with a smooth dimple in it. 
Your socket can be made of bone, wood or rock. The socket, sometimes referred to as the handhold, is the thing you will use to exert extra downwards pressure on the drill, Typically it is a small object with a hole or notch in that you place on the top of drill and push down on. If it keeps slipping, hold that end in your hand.įind or make a socket.
Twirl it around and around until you reach the desired tightness and then 'lock' it against the bow. Another way to keep it tight is to put another stick (preferably thick, as this method can snap smaller sticks) in another loop, near the end. To keep the cord firm, you might have to loop it around your finger(s) or adjust it by tying a tighter knot. You may need to work your hand up the bow to get the string tight enough as you go. Even if you get the string just right at first, it will often loosen up as you're sawing back and forth, so this is a good technique to master. Get the string almost tight enough, hold it at the very end of the bow and then squeeze the string up against the bow as you start to saw back and forth if needed. There are a number of ways to deal with the string adjustment. However, if it's too tight, it will make the drill pop out of the socket or the fire-board. It's important to keep the string tight so that it doesn't slip on the drill.
