Thats cool Northern. Good to see your into making your own gear.
That to me is way more fun, than just buying it. But you cant always make something so, buying is the only way.
Looks good. I must try this later, i can spend Hours ! in the garage on rainy days. Cheers Northern.

Thats pretty interesting, let us know how it works. Something like a fire piston is hard to make because the dimentions have to be perfect (since it's all about pressure and whatnott)
