I have a wood burning tool and they are no longer in business (detail Master) is their name. I would like to give a wood burner to someone. Anybody have any ideas?  Are there any wood burning sites or clubs that are recommended?

 

 

Thanks, Preston

 

Generous of you, Preston. Somebody will take it off your hands, surely.

I think I made a mistake. I meant to say my neighbor that I was giving the wood burner to my neighbor.

SORRY

I am so sorry for all the confusion I caused not remembering and typing it correctly. I have a problem sometimes and it shows all too often.

It's all good, had I not read further down the thread I was going to jump on that.  Never have tried it except using wire on the lathe.  

I was not happy with any wood burners sold. So I made my own...

Any pictures??  Inquiring minds would like to see, maybe mimic it.  

Sure thing...  I used a Variac transformer to control my heat.

I used a carbon arc torch for my pen.

And I used a wire stripper transformer for my power supply.

It's fast and strong. No waiting around for things getting hot.

I've done a lot with this unit and I'm real happy with it.

I also make my own Nichrome resistance wire tip for the pen.

Here's a link to make one from a battery charger and very simply.  They are supposed to work very well and are made from easily accessed parts.
