Caught the mention of a solar pyrography tool on podcast 300. Have you got any more details? I assume that we are talking about a tad more than a magnifying glass here.

I think that he might have been referring to the magnifying glass some people used to do wood burning.

These were burnt with a magnifying glass: https://permies.com/t/40114/permaculture-projects/Signs#312266

Not at the labs, but Beau did woodburning with a magnifying glass for his PEP: https://permies.com/wiki/10/99526/PEP-BB-dimensional-sand-sign#925624

I'm pretty sure there's pictures in one of the Boots threads of someone doing the woodburning with the magnifying glass, but I don't remember who posted it...

You would be much easier to understand if you took that bucket off of your head. And that goes for the tiny ad too!
try homesteading without the stress and anxieties of buying a homestead
