For my next project, I was gonna use an angled 6mm stainless steel drinking straw to make a tool for cutting perfect round pucks in agar, instead of slicing wedges with a scalpel.
Maybe I could just use wire instead of the straw or tubing, so I can also hook it to a mod and sterilize i too, just like my new loop saber. Maybe it could even lift the puck out of the agar dish (unlike getting stuck in the tube), and also drop it to the new transfer plate with a short push of the button. Heating it just enough so it melts the agar by the ring (not burning the myc on the other side of the puck) and falls onto the new plate on the right side, without needing another pick or scalpel to pick it up with.. Punch the hole, pick it up, and drop it to the new plate all with one piece of wire, in just a few seconds..
I'm trying to figure out a way to minimize the amount of tools though, but there's so many cool ideas out there. I want to make like a swiss army mycology tool that has most of what I need in one unit. All electronic with self sterilizing attachments.
I could probably get a scalpel red hot with one of my high wattage E-cig mods too...
