Inspired by a discussion on another thread, and having far too much time on my hands at the moment, and fuelled by liquid poor judgement, I have embarked on a totally pointless project:
This is an electrically powered induction coil arrow point removal tool. The arrow goes into the coil on the left and the arrow is heated by induction.
It will heat an arrow head to hot melt point removal temperature in about 30 seconds.
It has the following killer features over a gas flame:

It has the following killer features over a gas flame:
- It's no quicker
- It's less reliable
- It's less convenient
- It works less well on aluminium
- It's not portable
- It's more expensive
- It's way harder to clean
- The coil isn't big enough to get anything bigger than a NIBB into
- It's less likely to burn your house down (I'm not actually sure that that's true)
