Talk about timing....
Just yesterday I bought the pens I need to start getting into it.
I have Sue Walter's DVD, and just got her book for Christmas.
I plan to use them, (pyro tools), for carving, and to add a new dimension to my inlay work....Jim

Good luck Jim. I enjoyed Pyro for about seven years. Hope to combine scroll and pyro work as the new year progresses and my shed warms up a bit. Harder to burn when very low temperatures hehe, though at least its not freezing yet.
I have two machines, one uses wire that one can shape yourself, good for fine work and some shading techniques. And one uses pens with interchangeable blade type burners, they are mostly for burning carved animals or other 3 dimensional objects, though still good for flat work. Can't recall the names offhand, will post a couple pics tomorrow if the high winds die down (starting too) and I can get back to sorting my shed.
Enjoy

Below, my two burners are a Janik wire tool and a Colwood blade tool, plus a nice tip for you, a picture of my burn area where I used felt backers to create a none slip area which makes it easier to keep work steady while burning and protects the back of a project.
Bit blurred but will do.

You inspired me to get a site up, so I have placed what old photos I still had left onto it. I hope to add to it as I do more pyro-Scroll-and pyro/scroll hybrid projects.
Cheap freeby site, but adequate for my needs.

This is a new and exciting thing for me....Jim

Thanks Jim, Paul,
My style is somewhat different at times hehe, I love celtic design as well as many other types, I am quite ecclectic where my creativity is concerned, though most of the work on site is nature and/or celtic in style on those pics.
I have had great stisfaction form burning and hope you both have too, I find it very rewarding. All I have to do now is try and develop my scrollsawing to catch up, hehe, talk about glutton for punishment (for future long term pleasure that is).
In the process of trying to develop a hybrid Pyro scrollsaw pattern in Inkscape, will post it if it works out. Been a while since I designed on computer so its still a learning curve in the sawing and design as yet.
nm, once up to speed on that I can start to saw and burn hehe. be warm in my shed then.

by leehljpI haven't posted in a few months but I have been keeping up. I agree with what Mark is saying. To make everything for everyone would be very difficult. And I understand (from my wife's perspective) that computer apps are totally made for nerds - in her opinion. The breakdown is often between two of...

Reply to YoraHome Laser w/CNC Engraver/Routerby evilbadgerYes I'm still using the one I built I did some upgrades to it though. I swapped out the pipes for linear motion rails and made the gantry out of aluminum. I guess if I were to upgrade now I would be looking for a full size machine that could do 4x8 sheets of plywood with an automatic tool changer but...

by tgiro01With all these new tool stories, I was working on and old one. About 9 years ago, I built a router table. Then, before it was finished, I had to start using it. And I have used it over the years. A couple of months ago, While I was contemplating cleaning, I looked at the machine and decided to finish...
