In addition to my normal work load, I’m in the process of burning the original 150 Pokémon with a magnifying glass and the sun, maybe more! Starting with #1. I’m up for requests, which one should I do next? Also if you’re on the socials check me out, I’d appreciate it!

From one Smith to another, that looks amazing!

Bulbasaur is based on a frog (Anura). In particular, its short legs, stout appearance, and ear-like protrusions on its head make it resemble horned frogs (Ceratophrys). According to Ken Sugimori and Atsuko Nishida, the latter designed Bulbasaur working backward from Venusaur, meaning Bulbasaur was the last of its evolutionary family to have been designed and was also directly based on Venusaur. The bulb on its back resembles a lily (Lilium) or onion (Allium cepa).

Solar Pyrography! I have loved watching this for over 20 years, after observing a gentleman who would become a good friend "burn" an image 4 feet square in homage of the the Beatles. As far as I know, he's still burning in Key West, Fla.
TheSunsmith
Oh dang! My original 2 attempts are from 2003 so I’m right there with ya!

Absolutely amazing work @Op
TheSunsmith
Nah you’re amazing. Thank you!

I vote for a less often seen first gen. Goldeen

We used to do this as kids, using a magnifiying glass to burn popsicle sticks. The result was, somehow, not very similar.
TheSunsmith
Lots of practice and a much bigger, thicker lens!!
Linguistish
Bulbasaur used Solar Beam! It's super effective!
FlatPlutoSociety
Dammit, I just made basically the same comment before seeing that you beat me to it.
Linguistish
Great minds think alike 😁

Actual question: Have you tried using different types of wood?
TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsTheBabyAteMyDingo
Like morning wood?
TheSunsmith
That’s my pickup line 😏
TheSunsmith
Yes! Dozens. African mahogany, walnut, zebra wood. All kinds of colors but for a project like this it’ll save a butt load of money. If these end up selling I’ll do it again or go way past 150!
Bombofclusterfucks
Tangela!!
DrWerewolf
Love that you did the one from the trading card game! Looks great!

Just think if you printed another one but it was modified to have holes to be a mini scent diffuser. Might be like this
TheSunsmith
That’s great!! I need space for a printer first and then I’ll hit you up for advice 😂
electronicbovine
Do it!
BUBBLETRON
Magnificent
TheSunsmith
Nah you are!

Awww
Charger1969
I think the obvious choice to do is CHAR next.
TheSunsmith
Oh they’re all done haha
FlatPlutoSociety
That's odd, Solar Beam is usually not very effective on Bulbasaur.
RMGBustyChicks
Great thank you! Legendary birds on list please
Onlyhereforthelaughs
Damn man, way more patience and talent than I have.
TheSunsmith
Lots of practice but you’re talented at compliments. Thank you!
Fizzisist
Awesome work. My legs hurt thinking about squatting that long
cloel
He's in a chair
MyNameIsAntsInMyEyesJohnson
From the squatting? Will he never walk again? :(
cloel
From the sitting, and idk
017renegade
You might want to consider thinking about a stool to save you the pain.
TheSunsmith
Haha there is one! I promise
NotABadLookingNarcissist
A small exercise ball would be pretty comfy too.
VioletxFox
You could also look into getting “knee saver” from baseball equipment places. Great for if you have to squat for long periods of time.
Fizzisist
Play it again sports! Catchers gear is sweet and spendy. So soft, better than some actual knee pads I've purchased
rebelhead
Amazing the sequel
ArchonIlladrya
I got an Umbreon burned for my wife for her birthday and she loves it. It's very well done. Thanks again!
TheSunsmith
You’re on my list of posts!! Catching up on like 1000 videos 😂
ArchonIlladrya
Oh cool! I'll have to show her when it comes up!
incubisexual
Alright that's it I'm done yearning and I'm gonna learn to actually do one of these cool things my damn ADHD keeps telling me I should try, but like, only 7% of. This is so cool, dude
TheSunsmith
Thank you! Wear welding goggles.
incubisexual
I will be following in the footsteps of experienced people and that seems to be #1 on everyone's list of tips, haha. Will. Do.
paddenstoel
I do that too.
Cowmayihelpu
missed opportunity.. You could have done them in order of the Pokerap from the OG show.
TheSunsmith
Hahaha and just played the .5 second clip of the ONE name being said. And put it on repeat. That’s not a bad idea……
Cowmayihelpu
Except for pikachu.. Pikachu has to be a "who's that pokemon?" moment.
Gra55hopper
I read it as: I bum stuff with the sun
TheSunsmith
Perineum sunning?
BizzoinIA
That’s talent
TheSunsmith
Thank you!
Esotericorderofdagon
What shade lenses in the goggles?
TheSunsmith
5, but two layers.
Esotericorderofdagon
Interesting. It's been awhile since I used a magnifying glass like that and I remember it being bright enough to cause after images. With that volume of work ahead of you it's a good idea for sure!
TheSunsmith
Definitely! I’ve been at it a few years too haha. I have about 1000 videos 😅
NeoDarkElf
If you need an idea, that could have been popcorn.
TheSunsmith
Hmmmm. I might have to do that!!!
Vulpesferrilata
Are you wearing welding goggles? I'm guessing you can't look at the beam directly when you're working?
TheSunsmith
Yep!! It’s like staring at the sun, just smaller. Bad for the retinas
ConfettiPanda
Lapras! What type of lens do you use?
TheSunsmith
I have a few that I use, I might skip a few in the order and do Laura’s!!
TheAxeNinja
Hey it's my tattoo! Great job man! We gotta go Axe throwing again soon!
TheSunsmith
Oh hey buddy!! Let’s get it done. I might be moving
TheAxeNinja
NOOOOOOO! why would you leave me?!
