La idea de esta pieza surgió con una pregunta que me hizo Vicky en una entrevista en Radio Aitiden el 21 de mayo: "¿Esta Ley supone tirarnos piedras sobre nuestro propio tejado?". En ese momento se me ocurrió algo así como "No, supone dispararle en la cabeza a nuestros bisnietos".

La Ley que aprobó el nuevo Catálogo de Especies protegidas de Canarias se aprobó en el Parlamento el 19 de mayo de 2010 gracias a los votos de los partidos políticos Coalición Canaria que propuso esta Ley y Partido Popular de Canarias, que la apoyó. En contra de esta Ley se han pronunciado múltiples colectivos, instituciones, personalidades. Una Ley que se ha calificado como "un retroceso ambiental, democrático y social".

Nail sizes left to right
1. 2 inches
2. 3 1/4 inches
3. The nail set is 5 inches long.
4. The spike is 6 inches long
Additional tools that are very useful are:
1. A quilter's fiberglass tape with both inch and cm scales;
2. a set of dividers with sharp metal points;
3. A calculator with trig functions -- on your smartphone?
4. A black 'Sharpie' permanent marker with a fine point;
5. An 8 inch spike for making extra large holes;
Additional supplies:
1. Well insulated gloves;
2. Long handled pliers, preferably with an offset;
3. A fire proof quenching pail or pot;
4. Starter -- either 91% isopropyl alcohol or wood fire starting gel -- not fire pit fuel;
5. small jar or can for preparing starter;
6. Funnel and small sieve for making alcohol soaked wood pellet starter;
7. Electronic kitchen scale that will measure in grams and will calculate a tare.
8. A can opener that leaves no sharp edges.
Optional supplies:
A. Marshmallows;
B. Small hot dogs or sausages.
To start the pyrolysis, I use a One Match Gelled Fire Starter. Not too much. I drizzle some around the outer edges and criss cross the center. Starts with one match.
For larger iCans, such as those made from 3lbs Costco coffee cans, I use wood pellets soaked for two minutes in 91% isopropyl alcohol. I carefully drain ALL of the alcohol off the pellets before I sprinkle them on top of the wood pellets I use as a consistent test feed stock. You do not want alcohol starter to leak down into the feed stock as that will cause the pyrolysis zone to be uneven. The goal is to create a flat, shallow, and even pyrolysis zone that works its way down from the TOP, as in top lit, to the bottom.
As you progress in your work with iCans, you will see they offer a modular approach to a range of problems. I have one set of modules for grilling and frying. Another for boiling water, and another for converting a Weber grill into a Char-B-Que that harvests charcoal rather than burn it. I have not bought a lick of charcoal in several years.

Zero-budget, two-days, only-most-basic-tools woodwork project.
Built with some recycled bed slats, left overs from the laminate floor, a defective curtain ring and, ah-ahem, the handle of hubby's umbrella.
Painted country-style to go with the rest of my things.

Meh, not my best, but hell, I tried.
Oh, Credit for the gun goes to pyrefyre, credit for the leg idea goes to spook (racing mech).
