It is extremely dangerous project with no room for error. Do it at your own risk. Before you do it ask yourself do I fully understand everything involved with this and do I accept the risks up to and including death. This project has killed trained electricians. After all of that If you decide to go ahead and do it you *MUST* always treat it like it's live and dangerous even if you swear it's unplugged. *DO* your own research until you fully understand every aspect of the project and safety measures to take. (be aware there is no way to fully eliminate the risks of death) Remember all it takes is the smallest mistakes to get a one way ticket to the afterlife.

8 gauge leads for the probes correct? The probe wire looks so much fatter than 8 ..😊

Very good set up. I'll be trying it!!

So glad I found this video! Thanks for posting

Thank you sir

I think a wood cabinet is needed where you put your project in and close it then remotely activate the tool

All my meth head friends are doing it...

I just picked up a ridge bolt action. Mine doesn’t write awesome, but this pen is not working with the Pilot G-2. Double check models if you’re going to make the switch! I think mine is newer/shorter?

Quick, fast, easy, and cheap. Exactly what I was looking for.

Genius. Just freed up my Saturday. A true hero.

Genius! Thanks for posting.

i brought a american made fractual burning machine 4 years ago,i live in new zealand and it lasted 2 years before crapping out,it had a lot of use,if there was 1 thing i wasnt really that impressed with was that it wasnt very powerfull compared to others ive seen online,but in saying that i lost count of how many pieces i did with it so im not moaning at all,i dont have the $1200 nz to get a replacment so am about to make (with a sparky,electrition to make sure its done right)and im hoping it will be a bit gruntier/or basicaly quicker,my question is ,will a bigger microwave which i guess will have a more powerful inverter make the difference,regards chris malins nz

Not sure why a stick welder wouldnt do the same thing...

Could you use a dimmer switch to control the level of voltage to the unit? Plus another switch to ensure the unit is completely shut down as well? A 2 switch safety option?

This is genius... unfortunately this went horribly wrong when I tried to use this same technique to create custom cutouts for spanners, much carnage!

Appreciate your fast approach to both opinion and facts. Lovely tripod for sure.

Fucking wild cant believe i didnt think of this

Dollar tree has foam kneeling pads for a $1.25 I'm going to try this because everything else I have tried or spend good money on hasn't worked very well. I have a very nice Milwaukee 3/8 drive socket set that every time I open it the sockets are all over the place and if you bump the damn thing you're going to spend 10 minutes putting them back in the right place. The tray that came with the Milwaukee set is great for inside of a stationary tool box

Genius. Pragmatic. Inexpensive. Brilliant.

Fuck yes

I can't wait for someone to do this hack then take the pen to a higher elevation. lol

What foam did you use?

This is so stupid... no safety basically... Just use a damn flyback or 2 in series with a choke and you won't have to die during it. O_x

Why if I’m not mistaken I think you can get the pilot g2 mini refills and they fit no cutting

You must’ve got a dried out refill because I’ve never had an easy flow 9000 right like that

This is how instructional videos should be.

Could just buy a parker gel in cartridge

FREAKING BRILLIANT!!! Thank you for sharing this!

Anyone planning to do this should really look up The Fishin Dad’s video. His method is the safest I’ve ever seen.

It took me a long time to even try it cause I hate electricity

I made my burner about a year ago and mine is in a box to

BOOM!!! 👏👏👏👏... thank u .. one million sir...

Based. Enlightened.

BlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBlaBla..... We see nothing

What are you talking about?!! For EU zone the pen is 65€, which I find to be a lot.

Why didn't I think about it...

Do you realize that the 8 gauge THHN wire that you are using is only rated at 600 volts. That means the INSULATION on the wire is only good for 600 volts. So if you dont go over 600 volts with your transformer you will be save if you go over 600 volts and more than likely up to 2000 volts the voltage can leak out of the insulation and electrocute you!

Can I ask how you decide on the length of the legs relative to the panel? I want to make some gobos in a different size and wondering how to figure out how long the rolling legs should be to support the weight, but have no idea how to calculate that

EDITED: On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being the most dangerous lichtenberg rig I've seen on RUclips, 10 being the best, this video gets a 9. Perhaps 9.5. But the entire RUclips selection is very far below any sort of reasonable standard. I'll give only two reasons, but there are dozens. Let me say though, you do have some good ideas in your design. Now to comment on some issues.... First, even with some perfect lictenberg hardware, with safety features you never, ever see on youtube, there are "proper use" considerations. Great hardware is easy to use very dangerously. So, this would be an easy rig to kill yourself with. Second, and typical of many connection/ratings types of problems, the 8AWG wire from Amazon does not have a DWV (Dielectric Withstanding Voltage) rating. It has a UL flame rating, but no ratings regarding breakdown of the insulation. The reason this jumped out is that in the video josh/jason grabbed the polypropylene tube way back where the 8AWG wire entered it, so if you touch the 8AWG wire, that insulation resistance is the only thing between you and your maker. Along those lines, 8AWG? This is far too stiff and heavy. At the approximate maximum power, which is approximately 15Amps*110Volts = 1650 watts, the current in the secondary circuit is then 1650 Watts / 2000Volts = 0.825 Amps. The So less than an amp. The secondary could use 30AWG! But there are many other considerations, mainly insulation characteristics and reliability. You would have to look up all the specs, but I'd lean toward a wire such as is used for an old television CRT high voltage supply. Better still, Alpha, Belden and a couple others make reliable, agency rated wire. Go here: www.alphawire.com/Products/Wire Assuming you are at 2000 VRMS, you want at least an insulation rating of 5000 V. 20-22AWG would be a good compromise between stiffness and ease with which to make reliable connections. So the third thing (I lied) someone mentions below, the grounded transformer frame. Sharing a common ground with the primary circuit is hell-bad. Double hell-bad. It provides hundreds, perhaps thousands of additional ways the main secondary lead output current can find it's way back to the other secondary lead through someones body. But as I replied, "floating" that lead safely and reliably presents it's own challenges. This is not a place for Amazon materials or connections made by the un-certified. It's just a whole lot more work to attempt something like this than you initially think. A ton of learning. No place for Dunning-Krueger, or for the type of expertise that gives hormones to young kids. Sadly, too many seem to be in a big hurry to get out RUclips videos on the topic, and the public be damned.

I believe copper spark plug wire would be better for your leads. Coils can put out 45,000 volts or so and it's the "pressure" (voltage) that could come through the insulation that you want to stop.

U TALKING WAY TO MUCH INSTEAD DO some work

Hi, how many volts can the 8 gauge wire withstand?

he made a death trap. wrong on so many levels. do yourself a favor, don't pick up this art. I got out after getting careless. My safety switches saved me. I built 3 switches including lights to know it was armed. His wire is wrong to start, wrong insulation. Don't use regular house wire. If you have to use silicone rated wire. Sort of like car spark plug wire.. And the "chicken sticks" we called them suicidal. I'm not a careless man, I enjoy risk with the best of them. But after doing this for a year, it wasn't worth the risk. I am not bashing you , but encouraging this type of art can come at a high price. Do thorough homework. Hours watching youtube before you decide to do it or not. message me with any questions. Again, this stuff is serious. Josh, Jason, please take this down.

I can’t find 60D nails. Why 60? Can I use 40D? 16D?

It’s safe if you boof it

Tried to use a g2 refill, cutting the end off as described in the video and using the g2 spring and the bolt won't even move.

Not sturdy? lol wtf. you need to use your ground level or mid level spreader that it comes with.

Manfrotto Nitrotech head is horrible, it had ZERO dampening. Don't trust them as a company anymore with what they're charging compared to what you get. They should call it a photography tripod honestly. Had to return mine and got an entire sachtler setup. The dampening on that one is amazing and well worth it for a tripod. You'll have it for many many years, you'll actually be able to pan/tilt with it smoothly (which is a big part of owning a tripod) and it's ergonomics are amazing. It's steep for the price but buy once, cry once. I'd prioritize a sachtler, miller or cartoni head then buy cheaper legs. Manfrottos new legs are not bad, I'll give them that. I like the weight and their quick releases latches.. but avoid those tripod heads at all costs.

Hai

I found a used aluminum Lazer level tripod at a thrift store and I can clamp my Bogen super clamp onto the base plate to hold a DSLR camera or large format or view camera.
