I like how this quietly documents a process that’s been lost under “content creation.” No talking heads, no affiliate links, just the build, the notes, and iteration until it works. It’s what blogs used to be before they all turned into SEO farms.
Would recommend switching to acrylic for the final items. No soot to clean and when you get it reasonably dialed in, you get a smooth, almost flame-polished edge. “Glues” quickly, permanently, and tidily.
And clear can be surface engraved and edge lit with ARGB LEDs…just saying.
I'll play with acrylic at some point. But I want this to be wood to match other things in my office: desk (not pictured), clock [1], various other items.
It's a good point about the soot, but I don't mind doing a little bit of sanding to finish it. :)

Thanks! Yep, just putting it out there to be out there.
