Can't think of a clever SNARK thread title, Snark thread.

It's an acute accent not a grave accent. Both of which are different than the umlaut, and the circumflex accents.
 
So, this happened a few hours ago. Got to get the meat soaking in ice, water and vinegar, then sleep... I'll catch up on snark tomorrow.ImageUploadedByTapatalk1417851587.937461.jpg
 
Happy birthday Trade!!

So, I have a question about using a fresnel lens. One of the small, wallet size, flexible ones. When using one, is it better to hold it flat or hold it so it is concave or hold it so it is convex to use it to start a fire?

I've been meaning to get one and finally did, but now I'm not sure how to actually do it, I could see all 3 ways working... possibly.

Flat has worked best for me. Which ever way focuses the beam into the smallest beam for you. Takes a little time, not as quick as a ferro rod of course but still not THAT bad. My daughter has done it so i have faith you can figure it out LOL

I never tried it this way with the "Y" shaped stick, but it looks like a more reliable method of doing it, no issues keeping the lens perfectly flat holding it in your hand, and if you got the stick long enough you may be able to stick it in the ground at the right angle and free up both hands. Ill be trying this way before long now that i seen it.

Blah! Noone ever lists anything cool to end at this time of the night on the bay. Greedy buggers. I've been buying a few tools on there lately.......mostly Snap On stuff. I've managed to get in a handful of winning bids on some ratchets at really good prices. I should be set on them now, so I'll be trying to figure out what I want for a couple decent sets of combination wrenches. I'm thinking I'll just go with new stuff from SK or possibly some of the professional line from Craftsman.
 
Happy Birthday to me.....happy birthday to me....:D
