Making & Using a Fire-by-Friction Set

From the USSSP:

Do you think that you can build a fire using a fire by friction set made by yourself? If you answered YES to the this question, you are already 50% done with the building of your fire by friction. It is a fun challenge to any scout and the following tips should make it easier for you, especially if you believe you can build a fire by friction set.

Looks like a great set of instructions. From experience it is a challenge, but great fun.
