Ede - Howdy and Welcome to the Scrap Yard! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> I have found that the best item for sparking is a broken hacksaw blade. The end with a hole allows for attaching it to the steel, and if you sharpen the other end it provides an extra small cutting edge. We're happy that you joined us!! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Tom
