Tinder box

[Plainsman]

Something I have want to try and make for some time now. Finally got around to it. I'm very happy with the way it turned out.



Brass latch to keep  it closed





Leather to put out the unused punk



It works great.



Only power tool I used was a band saw to cut the lit from the main body, used my spoon knife to dig out the inside. And forged the square nail for the pivot point.
