I had done some reading on this topic awhile ago. I think it will be awhile before it becomes a DYI .

Here's a couple things I found that are good reading:

Ok! I thought this was brand new.. :|
And the DIY version will certainly take it's time. But you never know...
And I think brazen has the wrong approach ...ha ha :)

nidecker is already using this in one of their boards: http://www.nidecker.com/Welded-Wood-R.html?lang=en

i think i read somewhere that it was invented at some swiss university, so no wonder nidecker jumped right onto it.

That was cool. Maybe the DIY version isn't that far away...
Something tells me that it's very energy consuming?

I remembered this topic from a while ago.
Wasn't hard to find :)

Interesting idea but not really viable for most of us.

You don't even have a legit signature, nothing to reveal who you are and what you do...

Best of luck to you. (uneva)
