Interesting.

Wouldn't it make more sense to take the batteries OUT before you freeze the thing, and put them in right afterwards? Cold batteries give less power....

I thought it was interesting the guy threw the paper on his wood deck and used the frying pan to put it out rather than put the paper in the frying pan. Scorch marks on a deck isn't exactly a selling point.

Yeah. Plus, the deck is now exposed to the beam. Double doh - plus earning 'tard status' in his scramble to get the pan on it.

Do you really think a 500mw laser is a danger to pressure treated lumber?   ;D

I already own a 75w and a 40w laser. Why would I want some tiny little runs on batteries laser. >:D

Because the LASER isn't the danger.  It's the piece of paper on fire that is the danger.

Plus he probably doesn't want little black circles on his deck.
