Nice one Colin mate! They're great aren't they! :) I'm looking forward to the pictures :).

Two of my friends have the brass ones, but I'd always coveted the copper on as the colour is warmer and just speaks to me so I was really made up when I received it today. (You had some absolutely brilliant stuff in yer stocking today going by your list. You must've been a good boy this year.) How's the leg coming along?

As promised here's my Hudson Bay Tinder Box Deluxe (with extras).

"There are many like it, but this ones mine!" - And it's copper and it's my Crimbo prezzie and I love it.

Cheers Colin, loving the pictures they're absolutely brilliant, that pouch is brilliant too! The legs coming on well now, had six weeks in a full leg cast, three weeks on a hinged cast moulded around the knee, and I'm now into three weeks in a half cast and then I'm out on the 8th of January, will have a lot of physio to do, but the x-rays showed some bone growth so its looking good, thanks for asking! :) I did get some great presses to, a luck boy!

Here is mine, nothing fancy, but it works, just a US nbc box, fero rod, tin of Vaseline and cotton wool. It does what it should when it should. View attachment 24813

is that box waterproof?! i spend lots of time in humid/wet environments so i need to keep my firemaking materials dry.... what are the inner dimensions of this container?! i recently treated myself to a "rakuraku" striker (traditional japanese) -which throws sparks like crazy!- and now i'm on the search for a fitting tinderbox (i have small rectangular metal container about the size of a matchbox to store some charred punkwood/charcloth)....
