After Christmas there will be many larger decorative tins available for cheap. And some of them will contain fruitcakes hard enough for making bullets!
I tried like crazy to find a piece of steel that would make sparks on flint, but I can't make enough sparks to light the cloth
See if you can get results with a chunk of old file.
You might grind some shape to it.Actually,heating,shaping,etc could be fun.
That frizzen on your flintlock had to be hardened and tempered to work well,also.
Its been a long time since I made a Siler flintlock.....was it a straw temper?
