Forging the Wyrm Flint Fire Striker & Making Char Cloth
In this video I'll be making a flint striker inspired my middle ages and viking flint strikers I've seen in museum collections. It's not a direct recreation, but something I think would fit right in during that time period. I'll also be showing how to make char cloth and starting a fire with the flint and steel.
For those who don't know, a Wyrm is "A legless and wingless dragon, a serpent".
Hope you enjoy the video. A lot of effort went into making it, I'm not good with taking and editing videos.

This is a small STEEL anvil for metalworking. This is good enough for copper but you might want something bigger for steel or larger items. Make sure you get steel, cast iron is too brittle

Steel anvil for metalworking, bigger and definitely usable for blacksmithing. Make sure you get cast steel, not iron. Iron is too brittle.
