    RPM Wood Finishes Group Factory Fire in Hudson

    Fire Piston Prototype

    I've wanted to try an fire piston for some time, so while waiting on some roughed out hollow forms to dry, thought this would be a good time. For those of you not familiar with a fire piston, it works on the same principle as a diesel engine. Use compression to start a fire. The fire piston...
