  1. Hi,
    I think this effect can be used for cutting of plywood. Instead of laser one. It is necessary to put plywood on a metal plate-electrode and the use second electrode like a “cutter”.
    Anyway it will be interesting to try.
    best regards.

    I am fairly certian this was timelapse … I think the process would be painfully slow. Interesting to watch but not fast at all.
