Ok you realize that the shiny that I am talking about does not produce rather it reflects light. I had no special lighting conditions, but to get the reflection you have to be a the proper angle from the surface. A rotating saw blade give you s shine spot many times during a single rotation.
If you don't understand this I give up.
Nuke the li'l bastids, eh? Cool. Animated GIF at 11?

The true ninja wooddorker uses miniature HSS shuriken blades when he throws them at the flies. They don't lose their teeth.

I see why it was so hard. I was just trying to swat the bugger, when I needed a small nuclear reactor!

Right. Nuke 'em 'til they glow, then swat 'em in the dark, when they can't see it coming.

You laugh, but it's been done--irradiate fruit flies so that they're sterile then turn them loose to mate with female fruit flies who fail to become pregnant. It wasn't called "irradication" but I suspect that that's because nobody thought of it.
I was thinking more along the lines of a nuclear hand grenade.... It doesn't need to be pointed out that one would need one hell of an arm.
Holy Hand Grenades of Antioch are just as effective and much, much safer, I believe, as long as one knows how to count.
To three that is...not two...not four..... one of my favourite parts of the movie.
And your rec.wooworking question is?

The fly was gone last night, do you think all this discussion scared it off?
Probably died of old age.
I have a ring made of tungsten carbide and it shines like a new penny. After a week or wearing it the thought hit me:--if I injure the finger and they need to cut the ring off, how will they do it? I'm serious. A standard ring cutter uses a wheel with teeth like hacksaw teeth. Would a big bolt cutter break it? Inquiring minds want to know.
=====================
Very easily. The same as any carbide breaks, as a mason does it. Put a small anvil on the back of it and smack it with a hardened tool tip. It shatters with impact. This is why you protect you router bits so well.
Catch the Youtube video that was discussed here a few days back. It's a simple matter with Visegrips and there is no chance of taking the finger off with it. ;-)
So THAT'S where you learned to count! How nice.

It was likely carried off in the hot air draft created by the thread, Pucky. Not to worry, there'll be more today.

You are probably absorbing enough of the cobalt binder in the carbide so the finger falls off by itself.
Smack it with a hammer it's brittle.
Nah, it was that big fat spider lurking in that dark corner wot did it.
