Good Day All

My wife wants to try pyrography on some of my wood bowls. With
christmas coming I thought a burner would be a good toy.I believe
interchangable tips would be important to her style of drawing. Any
suggestions on what unit would be good ? Any feelings about the
Razertip units?

Go to Treeline USA, Utah, and get a Razor tip woodburner.
They have a pencil that is a make your own tip - works great and very
versitile - then get an old toaster and pull out the wire element and there
you have enough wire to make a lifetime supply of burning tips for your
multi-tip pencil! I have the dual razortip unit and swear by it!

it may be a great tip, but it won't work very well, I'm afraid. you
need thicker wire - at least the wire in MY toaster is flat. also,
your pyrography pen runs about a volt (maybe 2 or 3) across the tip,
your toaster runs 110(or 220) across the heater

I recently bought a Burnmaster Unit with separate Razertip pens and am
VERY pleased with the combo. The Burnmaster price was significantly
lower than other comparable units.

Yes, but in a toaster you have 110V across a long piece of wire. The
razertip only uses about an inch, so you may get just as much current.

But I do agree that some experimention may be needed, or better still
some scientific forethought and a multimeter. Darrell no doubt places
his trust in God when wiring up electric circuits Others may want to
excercise more caution.

Personally I have found the ready made tips last for years.

I bought my wife a dual-pen digital setup last year and she loves it...
She signs all my stuff with it and does quite a bit of art work...

If you'd like info or specifics, send me an email..

I do trust in God when wiring up electrical circuits, but I figure He gave
me a multimeter for a reason :-)

Thanx for the input.
