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.
