Make your own wire burners

[terry q]

Start with a set of guitar strings. Cut them in half and you will have 2 sets of wire burners. Construction lumber 1" sq x 3" long makes the handles. Drill a couple 1/8" holes to thread the wire through. Trap the wire in the holes with a plug made from bamboo Shish Kabob skewers. Sharpen the bamboo on a sander and use the wire cutters to make 5/8"-3/4" long plugs. Practice your skew skills making the handles. I only used the 4 smallest strings.

Your burners look spot on Terry!

:biggrin: Finally, I don't like Shish Kabob, but I have all the skewers and something to use them for. All these great ideas come after someone else posts them. :tongue:

Very nicely done.
