Sorry about that, I'm having no end of trouble posting pic's. I cut a door in the bottom of a 55 gallon drum. Then made a stand to hold the grease drum. Punched holes in the bottom of the grease drum. The drum is filled with chunks of wood and placed inside of the 55 gal. drum. A fire is started under the grease drum. When it gets real hot the wood gasses ignite and add to the heat needed to char the wood.

This is a paint image of my charcoal retort. I use a 55 gallon drum for the main body and a grease drum for the inner body. the white box is a fuel door. I punch holes in the bottom of the grease drum to allow combustion gasses escape into the fire and egnite. I hope this makes sense.

I carry a friction folder I made a while back. I also keep a welded cable seax in my lunchbox for apples. The folder is made from a hayrake tine, antler and a piece if copper wire. The seax is made from welded cable, antler,with a stacked leather spacer, bronze bolster, and a copper spacer.

I should have mentioned they may be from the late twenties or early thirties. I see them on older tanks.

I found these at an oil facility. They are rivets, about 3/4 inch in diameter.

Arn't you sposed to put steak on a black eye? :confused: Hope it's not that bad. I've had some owies lately too.

I use two ac blowers, one bathroom exaust fan and a blower salvaged from a dishwasher.
