Hi All
I have a gadget mentality and often make tools from scratch or modify
existing ones to perform a different function.
Commercial branding irons are available with their own gas burners, I
made one out of bits and pieces that were to hand... It has given me
very good service for about 27 years, although I had to replace the gas
burner on one occasion.

It will never be used again by me, so if anyone has the initials 'DAC',
then a deal could be struck offlist (bear in mind postage from UK is not
cheap).
But a really unusual beekeeping tool can be found at...

I don't think you will find one of them in any bee suppliers catalogue.
There is even a use for the small discs of foundation that result.
