Sun Powered Engraver

Sun Powered Engraver
With this engraver you can engrave materials like wood and cardboard with nothing more than the sun.
I made this device, which cost me about 5 euro, to create engravings without the use of an expensive laser machine.
With just a magnifying glass and a few tricks I am able to make detailed engravings such as logos.

All you need for this instruction:
- a magnifying glass
- some wood
- pvc pipe 5/8"
- 2 pipe clamps
- 2 wire clamps
- 2 screws m2
- 2 screws m2,5
and of cource enough sun!!!

Step 1Making the stand

Making the stand
At first we need a solid stand for the magnifying glass to pivot.

- Cut the pvc pipe to lenght
- Create a plate with a hole for the pvc pipe
- Make a plate to attach the clamps, use the screws instead of the nails to fasten
- Connect the parts and attach the magnifying glass
