    I make mine the same way! Of course, I do share the same source for my information. A couple of tidbits I've picked up from experimenting:
    1) Use hemp or linen. Cotton doesn't burn right/well
    2) Use braided or woven rope instead of twisted. I've had the twisted type of rope unravel as it burns.
    3) You can use pure potassium carbonate (50g per liter)

    Fun fact, wood ash can contain potassium hydroxide and not just carbonates. Hydroxide concentration is related to the age of the ash and the temperature the wood burned out

    • @flightlesschicken7769
      @flightlesschicken7769 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @DW WD This is only true if the temperatures are too low to convert the calcium and other carbonates into there respective oxide, which is not always the case.
      Based on the various wood ash composition papers I have read, they is usually at least some basic oxides, even in regular fires. But it is a function of burn temperature and how old the ash is; as I said already.
      The idea that wood ash doesn’t ever have basic oxides is justified plain wrong

      I imagine that when flintlocks started to replace the matchlock, there were some proud matchlock owners who frowned on the new invention "yeah, sure, it's a nice new gadget, but you can't flog your peasants with it!". (just like there were allegedly some in the Old West, when percussion caps started to replace the flintlock, who kept their old Kentucky rifles because they could start a campfire much more quickly and in better style, by putting some dry grass in the pan and firing their gun without a main charge - "I bet you youngster your gun cannot do this!")

    I have to say now I appreciate what a huge step up flintlocks were compared to matchlocks. Caplocks were a step up but it seems way less of a jump forward for ease of use than the jump between flint and match.

    Great video! I started out using wood ash lye. I used boiling water and an old t-shirt for making the lye.
    I use 8mm to 12mm braided hemp rope. I’m the beginning I just bucked it twice, but now I use pure potassium carbonate and a little saltpeter. I tried regular lye, but the match wouldn’t work in damp weather.
    It’s still a bit like alchemy. Some batches make a nice hot pointed cone, others a round nub that has misfires. I’m trying to figure out if it is the chemicals or the rope.
    I shoot a 54 caliber 1620s style caliver and compete with it in primitive biathlon.

    I read a Dutch East Indies method for making match at sea; it was basically the same as the ash method but urine was used instead of water. Probably because fresh water was too precious at sea and the salt in seawater would produce sparks(?) (Just speculating there)

    My recipe for the best slow burning match: solve trisodium citrate (Na3C6H5O7) in warm water until its saturated. This stuff is used to make cigerette paper burn slow and steady, therefore it produces a perfect ember on the match. Put your match in the solution and let it soak over night. Take the match out and let dry as shown. The match will burn slow, hot and steady.

    Ok so now i know I will need some wood ashes or lye ,saltpetre and some natural fibre rope stout enough to hang my enemies to make my slow match properly.
    that kinda took a dark turn in the recipe

    Your first recipe as well as your comments after making matchcord mentioned salt peter. But your process does not show any. May I ask, if you used any SP in your match cord making?
    Also, the bit about beating the match with a mallet was interesting. have you tried various methods?

    The easiest way is to use scented sticks, they are thin, do not go out and burn very slowly.

      The Chinese used Incense sticks in many of their pistols. In America we have an incense (like) stick that we use to light fireworks... We call them "punks" here in the South. They give you a handful for free when you buy fireworks from the local dealers. They also sell boxes of 100 of them for 3 or 4 dollars. Amazon has 1000 for $13

    It is interesting to see how the match is fixed toe the serpentine every time before fire, it would be so much faster if the musketeers did not remove the match before loading ... well, faster and much more dangerous. It seems like the instruction had a lot of safety in it.

    Opa saudações Brasil
    parabéns por mais um excelente vídeo
    você além de simpático explica detalhadamente as coisas nos vídeos
    Além de ser um grande atirador
    Posso fazer um pedido de vídeo ?
    Se possível é claro. . . não querendo ser abusivo nem nada mas. . .
    Eu gostaria de ver uma derringer de 4 tiros aqui no seu canal
    Mas está tem um diferencial que não sei se é real ou foi feita apenas para o filme que eu assisti O filme se chama
    " if you find sartana, pray for your death "
    Ela aparece nos minutos 2:35 até o 3:07
    Com direito a zoom focando apenas nela
    Ela parece um pequeno revolver de bolso
    Porém não possui um cilindro rotativo
    Eu achei uma arma muito linda e talvez vc gostasse de possuir esse exemplar
    E seria interessante de trazer aqui para o canal se possível
    Alem de tirar uma dúvida minha
    seria legal vê-lo atirar e contar mais informações sobre seu mecanismo
    Grande abraço 😁🇧🇷
