They come in all sizes, can be bought everywhere and are very nicely seeled so no water can enter. Perfect for a camping trip.Ī perfect tinderbox for the easy DIYer. A big advantage of the size is that it is belt mountable. It fit's exactly enough materials to make fire, not too much, not too less. Where the log chest could serve all, this one is more for the minimalists. The one in the images is the most recent one I made for a friend. The SPAM can tinderbox was the first one I made. So I will start my log chest soon as decorative item in my house. I have some copper tubing laying around, and I could get my hands on a 'small' log, perfectly sized for my purpose. This box is suitable for all tinderbox sizes, whether you want to have loads or only a small amount of material, since the box is scalable to your needs. ![]() He has made a large and a small wooden log chest and SuperPollo made this Log box/case. ![]() The idea for a log chest came to me by Jimmy DiResta on youtube. Some will use the box for storage of extra materials, where others use it as survival package, so size and weight is also of great importance. Other boxes will remain mostly in dry places, so proper sealing isn't required. Some purposes need a properly sealed box to prevent water from entering whatever you are doing. There are a couple of things to consider here, so the main question is where do you use the tinderbox for? A field trip, making fire on a dark summer evening, decorative, storage etc. This part of the guide is for giving you ideas for your box. Let's start with tinker time, because what to do with all the materials we are about to collect when we have nowhere to put them. In this Instructable, when an image is added to the step, I made that piece of text in italic and underlined. Follow the guided path and your dreams of owning a DIY personal tinderbox won't go up in smoke. But what if you are a minimalist and your fellow tinderbox-maker is an indecisive fire spitting maniac? What if a reader is a tinker-goddess while the other is more like an 'I broke my nail' guy? And what about the persons with a kitchen cabinet sorted from a to z and their chaotic kids with a bedroom where it is impossible to walk? For all these people this stage will also contain more than one option including designs from me and other people, so again everyone can get personal. The tinderbox is some sort of box containing all the fire making material to get a fire going. Of course this being an Instructable and me being me I will start the fire adventure with a tinker session to contain the fires. So everyone can pick their favorites and combine all options to compose their personal tinderbox. For all stages I will try to give as much information and options as possible AND usefull. I will talk you through multiple stages of fire making, creating sparks, catching spark, building your fire, keeping your fire going etc. But what does that mean, a complete guide to a personal tinderbox? This guide is for those people with the burning desire to own their very own tinderbox. Welcome to the complete compact guide to your very own personal DIY tinderbox, depending on your definition of complete, that is. ![]()
