wood burning

[pigman]

I guess I could probly make up a couple of them, and make a deal.

How much smaller are you  to make them? ;D

[SwampDonkey]

Yeah Donk, it's Birch........... plywood.

Fire and brimstone.  ;D :D :D Don't knock it Furby, it's simple and functional. ;)

[Furby]

Least it's wood eh?

Bob, the smart ash eh? :D :D :D
Actually had to read your post a couple times to "get it". :-[

[Jeff]

Although I'm 99.9% sure I know your method. ;)

If yer thinkin what I think yer thinkin, yer wrong. ;D  I did it the old fashion way with a 10 dollar wood burning tool.

[Furby]

Yeah, but is sure wasn't freehand. ;)

[Jeff]

The heck is wasn't. Although I guess I dont know what you mean by freehand. The drawing was traced with carbon paper onto the wood, then it was burned "freehand" into the wood.

[Furby]

Ok, then I was close, but not right. :
Paschale was telling me about that stuff you can use your printer on and then burn through.
In a way they are both "freehand", but I guess I consider true freehand as in you burned it from scratch with no "guide".

[Jeff]

Nobody does that. :D

[Furby]

That coming from the Artist!
:D :D

[4woody]

my benchs are all freehand by my wife

[4woody]

Hay Furby can have some pic of the table to please

[Furby]

The pics are on page one, reply #19. ;)

[4woody]

Furby may i have some details to if its oky with you

[Furby]

Well I see a really simple item to build that sounds like I could sell a lot of............ if there wasn't bunches of folks across the country doing the same thing.
Hmmm..........

It's cool stuff...I've printed some off, but haven't tried my hand just yet.

Did you use a couple of different type tips?  What works best for rounding or curved lines? 

I was thinking of using a soldering iron for woodburning...would that do the trick OK, or is it better to buy a dedicated woodburner?

[SwampDonkey]

Same thing Paschale, only you can get interchangeable tips that screw on. For curves, I'de say a broad sharp tip with a 45 ° cant is better than a round tip. Maybe Jeff has a different opinion. I haven't used one in years.

[Jeff]

What we have is a craft type burner that came with tips for soldering or wood burning. THe tip I used was not the chisel tip but a curved tapered point.

[Weekend_Sawyer]

The only "artistic" wood burning I have done was the tile I sent Jeff, I was amazed how hard it was!

Bob, took me alot of thinkin to get that one :D

You got talent Jeff

[Kevin]

Furby, bring that table to the pig roast, I'm pretty good at burning wood.  ;D

[Furby]

Yeah, I guess I'll have less to take back home eh?
There's a log there waiting to be burnned already.

[isawlogs]

 I beleive its still waiting to be cut .  ;D

[Furby]

As of a month ago.......... you're right! :D :D :D

[OneWithWood]

Nobody does that. :D

Oh, yeah.  My block was total freehand.  Looks like it too!   :D

[Jeff]

Tammy was at a craft store and picked up a couple of "manufactured" things for me to wood burn on to put in some support auctions. I'll do some more logging or lumberjack scenes. One is a big wooden plate and the other is a solid wood clip board.  I'm thinking of doing a burning of the old log scaler on the clip board.

[Paschale]

Did a test run yesterday of my name board for the back porch, and it turned out alright using my soldering gun.  I'd like to try and find a curved tapering attachment.  I'll see if Hobby Lobby has something that would work for me. 

As soon as I get that, the name board will be on it's way...finally!   :
