Camp is coming up, so I'm making some firestarters. 
Start with the tools. :) Not shown are chopsticks 'cause I was holding them.
Gotta use the craft cutting board and mess kit 'cause my mom would have a cow if she saw me working with the actual kitchen stuffs. :P
Cut up the wax.
Set up the ghetto double boiler.
Wrapped some strike anywhere matches in cotton pads and then tied them together with cotton thread. :) That way I wouldn't necessarily need to have my flint around unless I mess these match heads up. I'd rather not use the flint unless I had to.
Magic. :) I like using colored waxes.
It makes the final product more fun or something. Also made some "normal" firestarters as well. Some of the kiddos like to use the flint. :)
Edit:
Here's a video of one in action... Please excuse my rambling and horrible camera work.
