This morning before bed (I work third shift..) I was watching this youtube video where some guy made a knife for cutting vegetables out of slate. He showed it can cut wood as well, but pointed out that it would get dull real quick. I happen to have a big piece of slate so, think today I'll try making one since the weather isn't all that great and all.
Also see some guy post on the pathfinder forum a fire piston he made out of wood. I've wanted one of those for months now since I first found out about them, but they're just a tad too expensive for me to buy and every tutorial on making them wanted metal tubing and whatnot. I'm more into the primitive thing, so I don't really want to make a metal one. Started yesterday carving one out, hoping I can finish it by the end of the week. Slowly working on it and very carefully so I don't screw it up, want my first one to work the first time I try it!
I'll post a couple pics of my progress on both later today.
