Looks like you get the job done pretty well to me.

That's great! I've tried pushing it out straight on to tinder but it tends to fall through and separate too much to maintain heat. I will have to experiment with this!

@nataliedmarsh Yes, I used tissue under the board.

Did you push the ember out on to tissue?

I made a 3.5 second ember with yucca on basswood today.

@erutelperion Wow! Get that stuff on film!
I wouldn't have thought that'd be possible! Then again I didn't believe I could get a sub 10 second ember when I did.

@bigchillywilly lol... not great technique? Hows is it not great when it got the job done in 7 seconds? You know your technique doesn't stay the same when your going this fast. Not to blow my own trumpet but watching it now I'd say it was a superb technique considering we were having a laugh and seeing how fast we could do it. Of course I'm sure you could man-up and publish a video of yourself showing me how it could be done with a better technique and just as fast.

@scarz1951 Ironically it took me 7 seconds to create the ember but probably 2-3mins to blow the tinder bundle into life! It was a wet day and the tinder was most probably damp. Cheers,
