I made an offhand remark to SWMBO that I'd like to build a fire piston.

And she's still hidin' that grin.

There are two theories to arguing with a woman. Neither one works.

But I'm interested in this fire piston thingy. First time I've heard of
it. I did my homework, however, and seem to have a good handle on the
concept.

I see that most fire pistons are made from wood, horn, bone or plastic.
I did not, in my travels on the web, see any made of metal. Is there a
reason for that?
