So guess who's made one this morning?..

Slightly smaller version, with a 1 1/4" ferrule, and about 6" of cotton washing line..

Bit more to play around with before adding it to the firetin..

Looks good, how about putting a flint wheel on the side that you can get from a old refillable bic lighter.

Might do that... But was planning on using a piece of flint and striker like in the vid... I need the practice !!! LOL :)

I always practice till i get things right, sometimes it can be fun other times it can be HARD work.

Sorted mate...

A few minor adjustments, but other than that, it's working great.... Did you make any slots in the thread to allow fuel to flood the chamber?

Couldn't get the two halves to friction fit fella never mind putting fuel in it

I did it the airborne way... Twanged it with a hammer round the bottom bit, rotating as I went... Job done. ;)

Tried that and the REME way and used a bigger hammer !

REME... Royal Engineers Made Easy....... LOL

Strange that though... I know the thicker gauge stops it splitting, but it should have been soft enough to give to allow the joining of the two peices...
