Forging the Wyrm Flint Fire Striker & Making Char Cloth

[@DaveDoesMetals]

Since someone's bound to ask. A Wyrm is "a huge legless and wingless dragon, a dragon or serpent like creature."

that Z fuller , so simple as most really good ideas are , thank you Sir :)

[@DaveDoesMetals]

Glad you got some good ideas out of it, thanks for watching!

I prefer using round files for this sort of thing, the file teeth look good for scales and you can add a dragon's face easily enough. Plus they quench well in water and spark incredibly well when you do so. Still, your version is a nice forging mate, well done.

Glad you liked it. That's a cool idea with the round files, I've seen lots of people in the Bushcraft community use old files for Flint strikers, and they do work super well.

@@DaveDoesMetals your welcome keep it coming man

[@robtoe10]

Looks cool! How long did it take to forge the Wyrm in total?

[@DaveDoesMetals]

Thanks! Probably about an hour, but that's with setting up cameras and everything. I could probably do it in 20-30 minutes if I just went for it. When I make these for sale I usually do them in batches of a few at a time, so my time is more efficiently spent. When one cools down I put it back in the forge and grab the other and so on. In that way I can do 3-4 in 30 minutes. Don't wanna have too many irons in the fire though, as the saying goes.
