Beginner kit recommendations?

Hello!

Looking for advice on a good beginner kit to get my fiancĆ©. I donā€™t want to break the bank but I also want to get him quality materials to work with. So I guess Iā€™m looking for a good middle ground between the two. Heā€™s created a few pieces using my soldering iron which are quite good, so I want to see what he can do with the proper tools! Iā€™ve been thinking about getting him a pyrography kit with the proper pens/tips for vday. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Does something like this could potentially create revenue ?

Trying to find easy and fast designs to potentially sell in Etsy, does something like coasters could achieve this or it is not worth it ? Thanks in advance

My First Burn

Here's my first try at woodburning! Suuuper choppy, but I've watched a few more videos from Burn Savvy and I'm excited to try again. If you have any tips/tricks/feedback I'd be happy to hear it.

Completed the cowboy skeleton

Thanks to everyone who commented on my last post about adding a frame. I went with a rope frame and to me it looks a lot more finished. Thanks!

Colwood tips melting

I've used a Colwood super pro II for a few years now. The fixed tips work great but as soon as I try to use an interchangeable tip, the heat doesn't get directed to the tip and melts the plastic inside the pen. I hear buzzing so I'm guessing the connection isn't right. I make sure the tip is pushed down as far as it will go into the pen and have the heat setting at 1. I've ruined multiple pens now and they're $20 a piece so I'd like to resolve the issue asap. Colwood's website and Google has nothing for me. Thanks in advance

Do you burn indoors?

I live in an area where the winters are cold. Iā€™m dying to wood burn but Iā€™ve only done so outdoors. Does anyone here work indoors? And if so, what kind of setup do you have? My biggest concern is the smoke/smell.
