Hello all,
Well I've been meaning to try this for ages.
I gave it a go in my garden and I can see why people make it.
A few photo's I took while doing it.
I used and old cotton shirt.
I used an awl to make the hole (its the one off Ray Mears site and it a cracking bit of kit), I maked a sheath for it with a little bit of Moose leather I had left over.
I heated it up on a low heat, I did turn it up a bit as it was very windy, I used myself as a windbrake.
Cooled down and opened the tin, looked good.
One spark and up it went.
Time to chop the rest of the shirt up and make a load of it.
