Hi

Has anyone made a fire piston? I am interested in making one and have found some websites which deal with the subject but was wondering if anyone has any advice on the best materials to use, or any general tips, good websites to visit on making them.
Also what are your experiences of using them, most of the websites say you need a bit of practice to be able to use one, are they easy to use?

Cheers

Michael
