[SML] Wire Foam Cutter

[Dan Sheehan]

Been quite a while, butI have used piano music wire, forget which gauge.
It's super good steel.
Compromise between amperes required to get it hot enough
and maintaining enough  strength to hold shape while hot.

And the fumes were nasty.
Fan blowing across the work to outdoors,
worker stands between fan & work.
