If any body wants some HDD platters or the magents let me know, I work in IT and have quite a few dead HDD's knocking around and the tools to take them apart. All i'm asking for is for the postage to be covered.

I'll greatfully take you upon that cheers. Platter n a couple of magnets please :thumbup:

Cool Idea ^^, I really like it, but somehow I think of polishing a Leuku instead.
Then you would have a tool as well as a mirror and you wont be carrying weight that is unnecessary
Yours sincerely Ruud

No you still need the mirror. If you shave with the Leuku you'll need a searate mirror to look into while doing it. LOL

Sorry, I'm missing something here...how do you start a fire using sunlight with a plane mirror? (I'm assuming it is a plane mirror, based on the reflection)

If you have more than one, which I do, you can make a sort of 'geodesic' curved mirror - it is, after all, all that a convex/concave mirror is only on a macro scale instead of micro. No idea how many it will take... quite a few I'd imagine, but then I see a lot of dead disks.

Point taken - I believe you are referring to the solar furnaces beloved of American Science Fair students. Someone (apologies but having started to write this I can't navigate away from the page to find who it was - see below) mentioned having a go at lighting a fire with one of these mirrors and I took it they wouldn't be carrying a bag full of them and a parabolic frame to hang 'em on..? :confused:

"...but these come pre-polished to a high enough standard that you can see your face in them from 30 feet away (the black line reflected in this one is a curtain track on the ceiling 6ft above the desktop), have a nifty hole in the middle either for sighting through (signalling) or mounting on a stick (shaving if you're male / make up and general gazing at yourself if female).

Should we ever get any sun, I'm going to have a stab at firelighting with them too."


Adze, IT WAS YOU!! Sorry, confused spell over. Nurse! Nurse![/INDENT]

Yeap got some left. Pm me your details and I will try to find out postage today. Shouldn't be much as its very light but shoe box size due to padding round magnets. RM say you need a few cm round them so they don't affect anything.

Nice mirror mate, Belzebob made me one quite similar except it has an edge on it too as a spare blade. (Also so I can look sharp :cool: )
