    Cord lighter.

    Saw this on Youtube last night...

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature...&v=h1LG2hyWTgs


    So guess who's made one this morning?..

    Slightly smaller version, with a 1 1/4" ferrule, and about 6" of cotton washing line..

    Bit more to play around with before adding it to the firetin..

    Looks good, how about putting a flint wheel on the side that you can get from a old refillable bic lighter.

    Sorted mate...

    A few minor adjustments, but other than that, it's working great.... Did you make any slots in the thread to allow fuel to flood the chamber?
