First real project

[jmabbott888]

Just finished making a fire post on on my 7x lathe. First real project I have done on the lathe. Have to make some char cloth to try it but it holds compression and vacuum without I rings.

Perhaps this is to generate heat to light the char cloth. A style of lighter. Halligan142 has a video.

Ah! The Clickspring version of this is on my to-do list. Even bought the material already.

I hate auto correct lol. Fire piston, it's what the videos others posted show. I tried the clickspring version but I didn't have any small o rings so I just machined the piston to the bore.

I'll be! That's beats anything I've seen in a good while!
