Great mirror, what's your setup for doing fracture burning.

Hi thanks ,my set up is a microwave transformer but having watched that vid I will be on the lookout for a neon one , but knowing how bloody dangerous it is I always stand well back and wait a few min after I have switched off the power before I touch anything just to let any residual charge drop away and bicarb mixed with water not salt , I watched and watched vids read loads before having a go the first time was quite scary but good fun as Isaid if anyone wants to come and have a day doing it just give mea call 

Thanks Mark

If you go for the neon transformer ensure it has an open circuit, I got one for the same reasons and it doesn't allow an open circuit. So if anyone has a neon light that needs a new transformer............ I have one for sale. lol.

Thanks Lazarus I defo wouldn’t have known that but there are quite a few people using microwave transformers and it hasn’t killed them but I am defo looking for a neon one with an open circuit 

Thanks Mark

Hi Mark.. Great Looking Mirror.. Bloomin Dangerous though ay.!!!

I hear doing Demos of these are Illegal.. (Not sure about UK, Probable.., But deffo are in America) ..

I've made a Lightening Box yesterday & It needs Tweaking ..
The EMF'z coming off of it left me Buzzing n Tingling for 2hrs after Burning.. Though I touched it rarely,, ONLY when turned it off for 10minz..

PM me n I'll tell you a few ways to make Ours Safer.. & ..

This guy gives some very good (science based) advice on how to do this safely as well as explaining why it is so damn dangerous in the first place.

for such an intelligent man he is so stupid.

 

keeps calling the MDF a wood which it isn't then thinks that the formulation for making MDF is using a resin and then burns the stuff releasing formaldehyde into the air which he no doubt inhaled. on top of that he did it inside his own house.

Thanks guys I am quite surprised that my mirror didn’t get more comments but hey , Thanks Guys I love watching it happen and as long as you don’t F##k about it’s ok I have seen people in America holding on to the electrodes and I would think doing something like that would be total F###ing asking for trouble, I stand well away and use a stick to turn the plug on and off , If you want I could do a fractles day with a few of us let me know , I want to do big tables and benches .

Thanks Guys 

 Where are you based mate, it's pretty interesting (and scary)!

My brother in law has recently started a wood shop, I'm hesitant to recommend this to him as it could make for a really awkward funeral speech, but if we have an open invite and can organise the journey we'd be very interested!

N.B. He's an automotive engineer by trade so not a total fuckwit unlike myself
