Finally got the first one finished. It isn't perfect, but I have tested it out already and it worked!

I picked mine up from the Walmart photo shop, but only grabbed two of them.

I can't get it to fuse 30g kanthal with 30g silver, but I had some smaller silver that worked just fine, though it did take me a few tries to get it to work and have a solid connection.

silver seems tough for sure...i wasnt able to get a good connection of 32 kanthal or nichrome to 30 or 28 .999 silver. i was able to connect kanthal to itself, but havent really played anymore. i have some 32 pure nickel on its way, ive heard thats easier.

wallgreens is an untapped goldmine of camera "husks." went in there today and walked out with a bag of 20...$0!

Couldn't get any freebees in CVS where I bought the one I modded. They said they are sent back for recycling. So maybe there is a credit given for recycling.
Dam, and I spent 90 bucks in CVS today. 37 bucks for the Flu shot and the rest for cold medication and such...

thanks J. I think I'll be fine with the one I have. Not looking to make a bunch and sell them for 100+ bucks... LOL

ahaha, ill charge 59 euros so it stays competitive.

...but seriously, if anyone has an urge to build one of these things (cant believe we're building mini arc welders out of old cameras and NOT paying 60 euros plus shipping) and wants to wait for shipping on a camera feel free to pm me and ill send one out...just cover shipping and fees. i have a bunch as i said...
