Laser Sword, Level 2: Cutting Power

Create a video showing yourself (in your robes) using the laser sword you have constructed in the Level 1 Laser Sword Challenge to actually cut or burn your way through something. Good examples of objects to cut: a piece of fruit, a Gordian Knot, an inconvenient door.

If your first laser sword is not up to the task, you may construct a new one specifically for this task.

Upload your video to the net and post a link in the Cheddar Monk Academy forum.

Cheddar Monk points: 6 to 8, based on ease of cutting and other factors

Lantus Nova	7	2010-01-25 22:45:48	Your laser sword went through that potato like... a hot knife through a potato! Video here.
Hieraco	7	2010-02-02 06:10:42	This looks like an impressive piece of cutting, though it would be good to see the doors opened. Blog and video here.
IWC Junkie	8	2010-07-28 10:49:41	Good cutting technique, and demonstration of a lesser used power of the laser sword too. Video here.
pjt33	7	2010-08-28 23:46:29	Clearly a powerful and searing cut. We wonder where the other half of the onion was before... Video here.

crtlion	7	2010-09-15 08:09:16	A good solid cut, showing the sword's toasting effect! Video here.
