Although this isn't a typical happy new year message, I do hope your dreams and bucket lists continue to seem possible.

I thought I would kick it off with a lesson in what not to do based on a comment by Fred27 about using a hot air workstation in a kitchen.

This is another inappropriate use of a 900 degree hot air pencil:

Hi Douglas,

It's always a Happy New Year when we don't burn the house down writing Happy New Year. I look forward to your new adventures in 2020.

It did highlight the fact that I could use another smoke detector in the lab.

Hi Doug,

I was going to be a smartass and try to out do you by using the $30,000 dental laser I have sitting in the corner to burn Happy New Year into a piece of wood. While I was practicing to write it I made so much smoke the wife came down to the shop and my plans were thwarted.

Many of my good ideas turn out to be not so good when reconsidered.

I can imagine the situation ... the saner people I live with weren't thrilled with the smoke I generated either.
Of course I had neglected to turn on my fancy fume extractor, but I was prepared to put out a fire if it lit up..
I suspect my hot air machine could burn wood too, but I would have to lug it up to the fireplace.
Happy New Decade!

I had a similar experience with a 40W CO2 laser when I decided it could share the same fume extraction vent as the cooker hood. It back-vented vapourized acrylic into the kitchen. I was not popular.

Is that like my little voice that swears at me and tells me when I screwed up?
