I made this fire piston cased in beautiful, naturally two-tone box elder burl and have it up for sale. Brass piston and cylinder internal parts. Small rubber o-ring (easily replaceable in seconds, available at any hardware/plumbing/big box home improvement store).
This works with charcloth every time. Around 100 test lights with a coal produced each time. Two handed operation, hold the cylinder in one hand and the piston top in the other. Start the piston top into the cylinder until the o-ring is just seated into the end of the cylinder. Press rapidly and straight on the piston and remove quickly to produce an ember. No slamming on a hard surface required, in fact that is strongly discouraged and will damage the wood.
Length is 4 3/8" total. Diameter is 7/8". Octagon shape barrel and top.
Price is $105 shipped to the US. I accept paypal, check or money order.
Feel free to ask any questions. Post them, PM or email me.
