Self care:
While working on wood surfaces you are putting a lot more pressure on your wrists and hands than most other mediums.
it is important to keep a few things in mind;

Hello!
Looking for advice on a good beginner kit to get my fiancĆ©. I donāt want to break the bank but I also want to get him quality materials to work with. So I guess Iām looking for a good middle ground between the two. Heās 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! Iāve been thinking about getting him a pyrography kit with the proper pens/tips for vday. Any advice or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
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
Just finished this burn of Gustav Doreās engraving of Danteās spheres. Itās my first time incorporating gold leaf into a burn like this
I did this one today
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.

Just binged all the Hobbit movies, and been listening to a lot of ā70s metal lately. Felt inspired to make this
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!
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
I live in an area where the winters are cold. Iām dying to wood burn but Iāve 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.
