Pushing the Limits of Phryction Phyre
It's been an epic summer for me for many reasons, one of which is a new level of personal achievement in the realm of phryction phyre. Thanks to new thinking from some awesome students at my phryction phyre workshops this year, I decided to try the "impossible" and used the Egyptian drill to successfully create coals with bulletwood, Quebracho, and finally Ipé. If you've tried Ipé, then you know it's difficult even on the toggle drill, but with dozens of students getting their Ipé coals under my belt as a teacher and with my own personal Ipé coals I've learned a thing or two about the right technique to use in approaching this resinous beast; with that kind of experience and dirt time, the "impossible" becomes possible. What else can we achieve together Phyre Dojo?!? What else is possible if we set our minds free from the limiting beliefs we currently hold? Let's fuck around and find out! Let's get after it!!! Gambarimasho yo! 🔥✌️😜✌️🔥
Pushing the Limits of Phryction Phyre
PhyreCon 2027 Update
So, sorry I've been distracted with life and work, but here's what's happening. I'll be doing a workshop with the Shine Foundation alongside Jorge and Dax and others. We're showing some kids the new "PhyreBoxes for Kids" with a hands on workshop so they can get their 1st Phyres. This will be Saturday November 7th. It's not my place to invite others, especially as children are involved. So, this is NOT PhyreCon. PhyreCon will NOT be on Sunday Nov 8th, nor the 15th. Also, the Shine Foundation is not available on Sundays (which we usually meet on) as they have those Sundays reserved for established religious/spiritual gatherings. So, for PhyreCon, we're going to do something else instead. We're going to move it to Sunday December 13th at my place. We're going to experience the 2 new PhyreBoxes: ACCESS (Small) PhyreBoxes, which only use Guanacaste wood, (for little kids and others with motor skill issues), and the EVERYDAY (Medium) PhyreBoxes, which just use Bow Drill hardness woods, (For Familes and older kids and probably adults' 1st Phyres). I'm now calling the large PhyreBoxes POTENTIAL PhyreBoxes because they show the potential of what the sets can do (i.e. Janka Woods up to 5000, etc.). I did not want to do anything in December, but life and work didn't allow me the capacity to keep to the November schedule no matter how hard I tried. If this date is a problem, it really doesn't matter to our main group because there will always be an opportunity for everyone who shows up next year to experience them.... So, no worries and no stress. I am working on the GREEN BELT DATES for 2027, and will have that by the end of this week. I am also working our 3 Families and Kids Workshops for 2027. One in Spring, Summer and Fall, and we'll just see what happens since all of this PhyreDojo stuff is just one big ongoing experiment. Gambarimasho Yo! Let's Keep Going!
Phyre Con
Hey there! Do we have an address for Phyre Con and/or anything else we should know? Also- is there any idea about next year schedule? 👀
GREEN BELT SUNDAY 10/11/2026 & What I'm trying to work on.
Creating pieces for PHYREBOXES specific for children 4 years old to 11 years old and PHYREBOXES for "everyday" use. Both are smaller sized sets than the PhyreBoxes we've been working with and making.
