Better get busy, Bill. Time's a wasting!  ;)
 If anybody is interested in tins, I go through Altoids pretty regularly. I can start saving the tins.

Ok so I got 4 stickers all cut out, ground, and hardened.. Sparking really well. I got some char cloth made up and I got some flint to add to the kits.. So as far as a list I have:

1.Mwirwicki
2.Wizardgoat
3.Wolfwatcher
4.turtle

Anyone else who is interested I wouldn't have time to get anymore made up before the Classic but I can make more after and ship if needed...Thanks again....Bill
