Tonteldoos/ Tinderbox

[Riven]

This is loosely based on a Boer Tonteldoos and was a nice little project to make. A piece of 22mm copper and two end caps and a bit of cotton wool and good to go.
A spark (method of your choice) will ignite the wool, add to a bird’s nest and away you go.
Another clever idea from the past.

I suppose the budget option might be to pull one out of a Clipper lighter.
