These videos have given me both satisfaction and some amusement from the comments. I have posted many of my videos on the video website “WonderHowTo” who is now offering me 100% of the Google AdSense money earned by the text ads on those video pages. I have listed these links (as directed) on my website in order to verify that I am the video creator.

It worked on the ceramic bottom of a cup, so I enthusiasticly showed my son who just plain struck it quickly and succeeded. I continued to explore this discovery and found other objects that worked, such as a medium surface sharpening stone, and a semi-glossy brick. Surprisingly, you can strike a match on a pane of glass too, but it can cause damage to the glass.
