Reminds me of a project my brother and I did a few years ago for Maker Faire. We took the 3'x4' Fresnel lens out of an old rear projection TV and melted pennies and locks with it - video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoMjBkKOkPc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoMjBkKOkPc

(Your website http://www.brotherswhitney.com/ http://www.brotherswhitney.com/ seems to be broken; lots of PHP "warning" and "deprecated" messages.)

  Yeah, I noticed that myself when I looked up the video again. The site hasn't been touched in a few years, and I'll have to go fix a couple of things for history's sake.

    If you don’t plan to maintain it, then it’s probably best to just archive the site by taking a static copy. Or sandbox the PHP process and give it read only access to the database and the file system before some random attacker messes it up with ads and whatnot.

      Yeah, static is probably the way to go. Know of any good tools to snapshot it?

        Depending on how complicated the site is, "wget --mirror" might be enough. Also searching for "wordpress freeze site" found this plugin: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/static-html-output-plugin/ https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/static-html-output-plug...
