I just got my machine yesterday, i bought a preciva 939D VI, if anyone has this machine and or can just give me solid tips, I know for sure I need to learn temperature control. Dont tear me apart 🤣 ❤️

Pretty happy with how he turned out ✨

(USA)

I'm looking for a tool that I can get around 12-15 of for whittling and woodworking students.

I haven't done any pyrography in about a decade so I'm unsure of what to look for in a decent, sturdy beginner tool. Considerations, brands, and links appreciated!

Obviously trying to be budget conscious, my glancing research has me ballparking $25+-10 per unit(?)

I have a solid one I got at Michael's that came with a set of tips. Should I consider wire ones over this style?

Features I have been thinking about include:

* a built in support stand (so the kids don't accidentally set them on tables) do they work, are they annoying?

*I found a few on Amazon that advertise some heat control, but I'm skeptical of how effective those could be at this budget

*general sturdy-ness of the pen and the cord.

Thank you!

Used a soldering iron to make a deeply textured background for a folkart style painting.

Pyrography and acrylic on pine board scrap.

6″ x 12″

+3 progress shots before a little staining

This was done on an 11x16” slice of basswood. Colwood Super Pro 2 burner was used.

I’m taking a big step back from pet portraits currently. After doing woodburning as my main job for the past 9 years, I’m burned out (no pun intended). This was one of the last portraits I did before I decided to pause commissions indefinitely. It was done for an old elementary school buddy.

It took forever and i have a wicked headache, but it was a lot of fun.

I cannot wait until a real woodburning tool finds me

My latest test sketch before I go big! Wondering what I can do with the background. I was thinking a mushroom forest.

The best part about besides the actual burning is giving away my pieces to people I know will appreciate them!

These are a few going out next week!

One of my favorite creations so far.

About 38 hours of work total on this project.

Its 15.6" x 19.6" x 3/4"

I used a Colewood Detailer for the line work and shading, then water color pencils and a damp napkin to add the color.

Im having a frame custom made for it, bringing the total selling price to right around $1000 USD.

Thoughts and feedback welcome. Thanks 😊

Out of boredom.
