Come to think of it, I think I did use DC but I would be surprised if it 
matters.  Recently I bought some pine and Balsa sections to try this again. 
I keep getting reminded as my oiginal fractal burn block is the base for my 
drill press.
It would be easy to do for almost all coilers with an NST and a variac. 
Costs are 2 nails, some water spray and a block of wood.
Cheers
