I've been seeing all these threads about people making thier own custom ferro rods, so I got to thinking.

and this is what I came up with:
[Linked Image from i15.photobucket.com]

drilled it, mixed up some JB weld and let it sit overnight, I figure when the fatwood gets skimpy I just sand it off and put on a new piece.

Let me know what you think.

Put it to the test. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

It should be fun.

Great job!

I love JB Weld! I've used it for all sorts of things! It sands and files nicely too! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

That is brilliant! I wish we had fatwood this far north.

I think this is so clever now I want to start a thread on PSK's or personal survival kits. I have a couple ferro rods and even a chunk of fatwood a buddy sent me but nothing that cool.

Good idea, I'll have to buy some plain ferro rods, wonder if there's any for sale on BF right now. RC is coming out with a firesteel/tinder capsule jig that's pretty convenient.
