Watch as this hot sword slices things up

Don't try this at home!

James Hobson regularly creates cool gadgets, like a mock-up of Tony Stark's rocket launcher arm from Iron Man. Recently, Hobson heated up a katana sword to high temperatures and had fun cutting up different objects and items. The hacksmith even takes a stab at battling a snowman with his hot weapon, resulting in the snowman catching on fire.
