Got 4 packs of tow, a twist of baccy and a couple of pipes from the Turkey Crik mob, ver pleased seem like nice folks.  Now I have to figure out how to use he tow. I do have the required tools for my musket ram rods so guess it aint rocket science !!

cheers

[drift alert]

How difficult is it to DIY?

i just looked at one video, and it appears quite simple:  grow flax, dry it, beat the snot out of it* and shake away all the chaff.  tadaa!

of course simple does not always mean quick and easy.  

i'll bet i could use the same machine that crushes aluminum cans and shucks walnuts in my driveway to bust up some flax.

confirmed from the collective: A rolling pin, a plastic comb and a dog comb is all you need to process small amounts of fibre.  wildfibres.co.uk
