The completed fire starter. I think the grain on this piece is really cool with all the worm trails

Really nice looking turning, Charles! And, useful too!!

 

How do you attach the magnesium/flint bar to the handle

Hi Lew, I use 2 part epoxy most of the time but I also use thick CA if I need to get it done fast.

You have to drill a 5/8" hole for the rod and then the compass I believe is 9/16, but I'm not positive since one is not in front of me now.

I also drill a 5/16 hole in the side of the wood to attach the cord and striker.
