OK I'm ripping off my mate Jim again, sure he won't mind as he really can't be bothered to do the Blog posts image

 

This week he's taken  the nichrome wire out of a toaster and making a couple of nice new toys namely an Acrylic Bender and Hot wire Polystyrene cutter.

 

Murder a toaster and have fun today !!! image

    I found his foam cutting nice and therapeutic, a bit like popping those packing bubbles
