You don't have to do like I do... use a Dewalt Angle Grinder to cut a worn out Nicholson file to make a Flint And Steel, Steel. You can simply break the very hard and very brittle file with a hammer and finish the build with common everyday tools that you already have around the house. Let me show you.

    You are the true boss of the bosses of starting fire. I saluted.
  • lol i find it ironic that your talking about being careful of your eyes, while going "im gonna close my eyes on impact" great content thankyou. also the pilot hole shows you know what your doing.

    You're a fire wizard David :P love the videos
  • Great gob David never thought of using the concrete block to smooth the edge of the file.. thanks for the knowledge!!
  • Thanks David for the tutorial on file breaking; always interesting!
  • @MichaelR58
    Good video David , thanks for sharing , God bless brother !
  • Please show us good safety practices Dave! Closing your eyes won't protect them from flying pieces. What if somebody watching your channel followed your "do as I say, not as I do" advice and got hurt. If you tell us to wear goggles set the example. For your good my friend. Love your channel material!

    Thumbnail looks like you are using a file for a splint with that black tape on there....haha! I guess a guy could belt sand that edge to pretty it up....but you did great! Now to find some flint stone
  • So you just smooth 1 side? Is that so you’ll have two different textures to strike off of?
