Ok guys, apparently I don't have any left, I have some, but they aint the quality I like, so I have to make some new ones. I'm busy with a tractor at the moment but I guess I should be done tomorrow, so I'll have more steels ready by friday, hopefully! thanks.
Good evening! I have made some more steels to fill the orders and I have about 5 sets left. PM sent to all that had an interest and if anyone else is after a fire lighting kit that is hand made by my with all the love I can give, please feel free to PM me for details. THANKS ALL, have a good weekend! Andy
I got mine today. Very happy with the quality and speedy delivery! If you're thinking of buying one, you won't regret it.
Mine was waiting for me when I got home- took a bit of practice to figure out a technique but the firesteel is great!....whole house smells like burning now! cheers Joab
I got a phone call at work from the wife saying I had a parcel. Rushed home excited and there they were. My house too now smells of fire. Thanks for a great product! Mark Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Cheers guys, today I tried a new tinder to light fire, usually I try to find dry grass, but today i couldn't find any so I got a bundle of birch bark shavings. Work really really well and fire was lit in under a minute. So give it go if you don't find dry grass although it's not that fast to collect and prepare. Andy
Nope, I'm still waiting funds for a few, but they're booked I'll be making new ones any time soon, so I'll give you a shout Mr. Toots, alright?
hi andy. I had a quick look on your website- now i couldn't quite understand the words but did see a few interesting pictures- do you make axe/ hawk heads? cheers Joab
Hello again Joab. No, unfortunately I never had a chance to make one, or to see one being made except in youtube. But that day will come sooner or later I'm setting up for a wide range of tool making, because I love good tools, like adzes, gouges and I'm totally mad about axes, but as I said, never had a chance to make any yet. That website should be translated and updated too
Just received a shipment of four of Andy's excellent firesteels. I'm using them for a class for young people on old ways to make fire. They make great big sparks. Andy graciously included extra flints at no cost when I explained that Hawaii is volcanic and we have no flint or quartz. We do have a little obsidian, but they shatter when struck hard. The native fire-making technique here is the fire plough. I may use one of Andy's neat fire-kit-and-pouch as a prize at the end of the course. Jim FBtE
