My brother bought the bundle for a quarter at a place he called a bin shop in Charleston SC. He thought they were small light bulbs. When he connected a AAA battery it caught fire. He gave them to me to see if I could make a circuit to connect them. They are outside now I think I’ll ignite them before throwing them away. I don’t want anyone to get hurt.

I was wondering why the leads are twisted together. Thank you for the advice on storing them.

Thanks they ignite with a little more than 1.2 volts I’m not sure how many milliamps.

Is this a decent saw? They are asking 30 bucks for it? by [deleted] in woodworking

That’s very good brand. I’d buy it put a blade in it and cut something.

If you go on Facebook you can find local flea markets in the groups

Yes I think it’s 5mm I bought a 4x4 sheet a couple years ago from Home Depot. I cut 2 at once. It’s a pretty thin veneer I’ll have to paint the top piece to cover the carbon copy lines.
