DIY: Jute Twine Match

I made a Jute Twine Match today. Here is the DIY how to do this easy bushcraft technique. Thanks for watching

[@thebossoftheswamp]

Many years ago, my dad had made a similar but much longer match device for lighting his gas fridge. Your project reminded me of that. Thanks for the memory. Cheers buddy.

[@aridemedina8770]

Wow! What a nice lighter inspired in settler's inventions! 👏👏👏 fro Brazil 🇧🇷

[@josezavalapina7392]

thanks for the video!!! now to get the supplies to start this...definitely money saver.....much appreciated!!

[@rebeccadees2300]

These would make nice gifts. Thanks for the tutorial..👍

[@sneak6654]

Great video Joe, I didn’t know that the Jute candle had been around since the 1600’s. Genius invention, I love that stuff.

[@raptor6616]

Joe, everytime I watch one of your videos my " To Do List " gets longer. Thanks for inspiring. All the best!

[@grant9908]

First time seeing this. Thank you. Interesting the things we've forgotten in time.

[@Dan-ki8su]

Good video dude. Enjoyed listening to you talk and make that.

[@joesneon]

Thanks Dan!!!

[@TFWS6]

Just made this with a 3” long piece of 3/16”brass and leather from an old glove. Works great and takes fire from a ferro rod. Thanks for the video!

[@EdwinDekker71]

I love making these. Great video,.I enjoyed the axe collection too :)

[@josephkrestan3093]

Enjoyed your video. Thanks!

[@daveslifeover65]

Thank you for your video. Loved it. I like the idea of the jute metal match but what really caught my attention was the coffee warmer, I have one we never use and now I have a use.

[@user-or9vi8nf7l]

Yes I see them in thrift stores and garage sales and think what else can I do with that now I know one use will get a few

[@angelus_solus]

This is too funny. Why? I made one of these myself while experimenting with fire starters. They're great! Your tutorial is great too. Well done.

[@finelinerin]

Danke! =D deine fröhliche Art gefällt mir!

[@oneprinceofamber1]

Excellent DIY video!

[@JnJTrueOutdoorAdventures]

Awesome video. I just made one using and old aluminum hunting arrow. I cut off about 3 inches, chamfered both ends, soaked my twine in wax and turned out perfect. I like the idea of the leather for a handle! I will have to do that!! Thanks for sharing.

[@davidjohnston3172]

good man nice show joes neon man thank you so much sir ->>>>>

[@ronhart8857]

Great job on building a match using jute twine, and water proofing it. Love your channel

[@user-or9vi8nf7l]

I like your wax pot got the makings for some will be making some of various sizes great video thanks for making it

[@AdamCraigOutdoors]

pretty simple but super cool. never seen that until your last video. Thanks for showing us how you make it!!

[@joesneon]

+Adam Craig You got it Adam, thanks for watching!!!

[@garrettjohnston5153]

Good this video was helpful thanks for ur time very good nice job , like the axe or hatchet collection

[@davidcooper6704]

Great instruction and demo and entertaining. Thanks for sharing.

[@truckertom3323]

Good video you have made there.

[@joesneon]

Thanks for stoppin by Tom!!

[@stuartlockwood9645]

Hi Joe☺, this was a great project, I think I have enough bits n pieces to make one, so it will give me something to do during lockdown here in the UK, thanks for the video, stay safe mate, best wishe's to you and Sandy, Stuart.uk.

[@joesneon]

Yes Rebecca they would.If you make them longer they are great for lighting deep candles also.

[@roncunningham389]

you built a better use with endless uses.. great job Thanks

[@mitchelltakacs7806]

Great tutorial video! Thank you.

[@nigelneill4035]

Good job

[@davidjohnston8494]

Joe, Goodman think you r nice be safe out there in woods all the days of ur life

[@kan-zee]

9:42 I use a cut pop can to make a tube for the twine. another style was using POTASH in boiled water, and adding your jute twine in it....it is a great 1500's coal extender.

[@anthonygoodrich9770]

Very cool 😎

[@garrettjohnston5153]

I've been doing mine w break tubing it's fun Joe thanks nice video .

[@t.w.milburn8264]

'mornin, Joe; Great lil 'torial. Gonna have me 1 of 'em real soon. Thanks 4 sharing as always. Hay, Sandy ! ATB Terry God Bless

[@juancordero5804]

Exelent. Hi to Puerto Rico

[@TrikeRoadPoet]

Great idea, and simple to make. thanks for an idea that will warm the cockles of the heart and the rest of me on a cold night!

[@crazysquirrel9425]

Brass tubing is a bit hard to find. What you can use is brake line tubing. About 1/4" diameter. 5/16th's makes it easier to feed the jute through. Cut it about 8" long. If you can't light a fire by the time it is too hot to hold, you are doing something wrong. Also, If you save the brake fitting on the end and use the flared piece of tubing cut to the right size, you can use a mason jar as a candle by drilling a hole in the lid and threading the fitting through it. Tubing will force the wick to stay low in the jar and conduct some heat to warm the lamp oil. Helps a bit when using cooking oil as lamp oil.

[@franzbibfeldt]

Brass tubing of various diameter is available in abundance on Jeff Bezos' favorite online store. Thanks for including some tubing dimensions. Another possible issue is the fact that jute twine, too, comes in different thicknesses. I guess joesneon never replied to requests for those particulars in his video. In any event, I can't find them if he did.

[@Kallepeng]

!!! Thank you Brother !!! !!! Freakin Jue Twine Match !!! !!! Greets from Berlin Germany !!!

[@joesneon]

+Chiller Kalle You got it brother... glad you dig it!!!!!!

[@Kallepeng]

....totaly buddy! :)))

[@roadhandviking2741]

Just for fun add a couple or 3 spoonfuls of lamp oil to you wax. Makes it easier to light.

[@waveman0]

may I also suggest potassium nitrate, as in soak the jute in potassium nitrate first (turning into a slow match) dry it out then coat in wax.

[@crazysquirrel9425]

@@waveman0 I went to a hardware store and even walmart. Neither sells potassium nitrate.

[@waveman0]

@@crazysquirrel9425 I found the same, I think most hardware stores have stopped selling it. Search ebay for stump remover. That's where I ended up buying mine.

[@buckeye43210]

@@waveman0 fyi, some stump killers are potassium nitrate.

[@waveman0]

@@buckeye43210 thanks mate, I know and have bought 3kg's of stump remover (potassium nitrate) and now make slow matches for myself.

[@normedwards5305]

I made one but am having issues getting it lit with my little ferro rod. I used my coffee maker warmer to melt the wax and an old aluminium arrow for the tube.

[@47LeDoux]

Great little match Joe every kit should have one :-) Have a great day Brother Tell Sandy I said Hi and hope she is pain free :-)

[@joesneon]

+Tim LeDoux Thanks buddy... I will do that!!!

[@danburch9989]

I don't know if this would work, but you might try tightly wraping sewing thread or carpet thread around the end of the jute before waxing and feed it through the tube. Then pull on the thread as a leader to pull the jute through. The whole thread doesn't need to be waxed, just the end tied to the jute.

[@jeffgrier8488]

Thanks for showing us how to make this, Joe! I'm definitely going to give this a try, By the way, I will certainly let you know how the oilskin tarp works out, I found a fantastic source for them!

[@joesneon]

+Jeff Grier Very cool buddy, I will be interested in knowing!!!

[@sammytheswitch]

Great Music + Great Drink + Great Content = Great Video

[@kevinbutler5491]

what size brass tube did you use?

[@davidjohnston9279]

Hi Joe this video is wonderful I made couple of different tubes but works out for long time . Thanks Joe !!

[@roadhandviking2741]

I use a goodwill store fondue pot to melt my wax. Basically a small crockpot. Works great and can be found in any goodwill or 5and dime store

[@danburch9989]

I did that, too. $3.95. I think it's the safest way to melt wax. Takes about 1½ hrs to melt a block of wax. I use that time to prepare materials for the project.

[@roadhandviking2741]

[@joesneon]

Hey Roberto!!! You sound like a nice Irish kid!!! LOLO JUST B KIDDING!! 3/16 INCH.i.d.

[@DHFHades]

I am 100% making one of these...thanks

[@davidjohnston2079]

I make a bunch of them made 1000 jute braid got lots. But good video Joe thanks

[@jasminegalvin]

Use a rubber band to keep the handle on until preferred glue dries. A braid hair band works best because it’s really small. Also use glue that does well in high temps.

[@rogergagne1026]

coolness. I'll try this for camp. wicked axe collection too thanks

[@withwhatyougot7993]

Yessss axe wall! Nice build 👌

[@joesneon]

Hey buddy , hope all is good !!!!!!

[@edwardstagner1021]

I wonder if you saturating the Jute with Wood ashes before you impregnated with wax if you there would be a big difference just thinking out loud here first time looking at a gentle very nice.

[@1970listowel]

Good to see ya back making vids!

[@joesneon]

+1970listowel Good to hear from you buddy!!!

[@elohansen8971]

My tube, are made by aluminium. Saw over, with a file, from a vitcorianox. And with a lampwick to a oil lamp - buy 1 - 3 m. And it's ready.

[@jtownjohnston1409]

Nice work ive got alot maybe 900 Alot of twine twine

[@dadgad68]

Great job bud. Thanks so much. Take care.

[@CaptJohnsBar]

I did something similar when i was making survival bracelets, i would pull a piece of jute twine up through the braid of the bracelet.....I am definitely gonna make a few of these for my trip to Alaska.

[@KillingerUSA]

I'm gonna make one! looks super handy!

[@joesneon]

+Killinger Go for it bro!!!

[@crazysquirrel9425]

I think I still have that same mug warmer you have. Wish I could remember what brand and model number it was so I can get a 2nd one.

[@jorgequinones991]

Good for a outdoor fire.

[@robertjohnson2586]

What size brass tube did you use? Where to buy tubing? Great idea!

[@worm_vaquero]

Yeah dimensions would be helpful

[@user-or9vi8nf7l]

Hardware store, craft store (hobby lobby,Joanna.)

[@rjvcescobar]

What dia size is the brass tube ??? Thank you for your video.

[@MrPalvis]

Awesome !

[@mayalesovsky2764]

I haven't seen secrets in a long time

[@brand0n842]

Is it possible to continue to make it bigger and end up with a fat rope?

[@cody9089]

Drinking paps nice :)

[@richardsalsman1069]

I think there's some twine in the garden shed going to make one now

[@DriveShaftDrew]

super kool

[@joesneon]

+DriveShaft Drew Thanks for watching Drew!!!!!

[@candeffect]

It's a torch, not a 'match'. A match is self-lighting.

[@keithblume5159]

I ordered 1/8" brass tube. It was way too tiny. So I'm waiting on 1/4" brass tube from ACE hardware. We will see if that is the right size

[@mayalesovsky2764]

Looks like a standard braid

[@swampratman2000]

yup something more to put on my to do list

[@alpinebushcraft1129]

Hi Joe great Video! I follow You! Greetings from Bavaria. Mounty

[@joesneon]

Thanks for watching Mounty!!!!

[@usernamemykel]

You've answered different commenters that the ID of the tube is 1/8, then 3/16 - which is correct?????

[@keithw1966]

Wire shrink wrap for heat mitigation

[@chrisludikhuyze9437]

Hey, nice video. Does beeswax work too?

[@user-or9vi8nf7l]

Bee's wax should work. The only wax that I do not know about is soy wax,all wax should work you do not have to buy new wax you can get candles from thrift stores for cheap 😊

[@jackshaw7572]

What's the inside diameter of the brass tubing?

[@user-or9vi8nf7l]

It is very thin walled so get it to match your jute

[@rickgreen9936]

Like it. Now show Cameron how to make one so he can give it to his Dad who always seems to have problems getting things lit hahaha. I guess hose jockeys aren't suppose to burn things. Dry aged steak YES!

[@joesneon]

+Rick Green LOLOLOL Rick, I take it you know this Will guy!!! Video is on the way!!!

[@rickgreen9936]

+joesneon Just from his vids that you turned me on to & thanks, it's a good & fun channel....The Weekend Homestead....a little plug after the slam.

[@theweekendhomestead]

+Rick Green you know what is funny about that is we were shooting some video last week and again I couldn't get the fire going again. Mrs W says I should just get a blow torch. 0 for 5 on getting fires going

[@rickgreen9936]

+The Weekend Homestead LOL, wow this is border line serious.

[@theweekendhomestead]

+Rick Green if you knew what I did for a living now that I am retired from the fire department, you would really laugh out loud

[@devinherron6404]

I've been trying to do this myself what size tubing are you using and do you know where you can get empty Altoid or whatever kind of tens you were using?

[@joesneon]

i am using I\8 inch tubing. I get the tins at any drug store.

[@samstapleton3739]

Is it the same as hemp rope

[@leemcgann6470]

Ok the 3 strand braid is easy enough... why not do a twisted cord? Why jute? Would cotton cord work? How about beeswax vs. paraffin? Just asking out of curiosity.

[@user-or9vi8nf7l]

All of those will work. I got a small round oil lamp wick that fits in a piece of brass tubing I saved from something I scraped have not made the match with it yet but I think it will work

[@rwbenning1]

Great Idea. Great Video. Only 1 question. What is the diameter of the brass tube. or is it determined by the jute twin?

[@joesneon]

The dia. is 3/16 that works good for most jute twine!!

[@koreylaughead1609]

3/16 ID or OD?

[@SouthernPatriot1]

Korey Laughead brass shell casing works as well

[@user-or9vi8nf7l]

​@@koreylaughead1609 it does not matter the tube wall is very thin
