I built a woodburning unit this past weekend. I bought a battery charger on sale, and then bought all the other stuff I needed at the box stores. I also scavenged some 21 gauge wire out of an old heater that didn't work.

Boy that sucker will instantly burn the wood too! Or melt the wires in half!
And the wires are much too small to do any real burning. They just aren't stiff enough when they get red hot like that.

Just wondering where you get the best deal on nichrome wire?
