If I may suggest a minor little tip here. Before you print your template, change the color to something lighter. Maybe change it to a blue color. that way when you are doing your tracing, you can see the lines you have already traced and you can easily tell when you are finished
Dude, you are the man. I just recent took an interest in wood carving and burning because I decided to build a viking themed dining table and your videos are the best. Logical. Step by step. Pacing and explanations for each step are great. Good job man, and thanks!
This is useful information. Never knew that about the fontwork setting.... Takes designing to a whole nother level. I do wood burning just like this. Absolutely love the tutorial. You got a new follower
I love the videos they are really awesome. One tip I learned about doing carvings and pyrography from another TH-camr is pre soaking your wood so the grain will come up and you can sand it so after you're done carving or wood burning when you finish your project the grain will have already been raised and sanded so it doesn't raise on you during finishing.
@@CorneliusCreations you got it. I have the Colwood burner and the place I bought it from I think is called the pyrography store and she sells the razor as well. She gives free cleaning kits when you buy a burner. Colwood says not to use any type of sand paper on your tips, is that different than the razor? I was told its cause many of the tips are polished and also sanding even with fine grit shaves off metal.
You don't want to pre-soak the wood you want sand the wood and then take a light sponge and dampen it wait an hour or so for the wood grain to rise and then lightly sand it
Watching your videos raises my mood every time. You’re so positive and encouraging. Wish you were my neighbor so some of it could wear off on me. Your channel subtitle name should be “loving life.”
Great video and awesome tips pardon the pun hehehe I am doing some chopping boards with writing burnt into one side for decorative purposes and I will be very happy to put some of your tips into action especially the scraping with the knife (very useful tip thanks) 👍👍👍
Hi Cornelius, you should've shown us what cheap will do also. Cause I have a cheap one from hobby lobby with a heating daily on it. Maybe you can show with that one too?.thanks for your videos and channel. I've learned a lot from you thanks again 😊
Awesome video! One thing I would recommend doing though is to lower the opacity or choosing a light to medium gray color to print what you plan on transferring. Helps eliminate issues like you had with the “A” and allows you to be more accurate on your edge as you can see the line you’re putting down as you trace.
How often do you plan on using it? Do you want wide range versatility? Colwood will do good but Razertip is still king if you answered yes in those areas. The folks over at Klingspors woodworking shop is a great place to buy from. I have no regrets with my razertip.
Thank you Sean! Quick question for you bud, are these stenciling videos like this your favorite? Or what kind of content would YOU like to see? Thank you man!
@@CorneliusCreations power carving videos are my favorite, but I want to mix some projects with carving and wood burning, so I enjoy and learn from both 👍🏻
I just recently took an interest in wood burning I'm thinking of making signs and such to sell around my city so I was curious how long did it take you to burn that piece that you did in the video?
Hi Matt, great video, I started making wooden signs using the burning technique, but found that the burnt detail soon faded when exposed to the outdoors e.g the sunshine. any tips to stop this happening? thanks.
Down loaded Libre Office and although it is free as you stated, it is a very basic program that can not accomplish what you demonstrated without purchasing the upgrade. However, I enjoyed you video and was very informative.
I just downloaded it and followed everything in the video (after slowing down the playback lol) without any upgrades so you don't need to purchase anything. The only thing I didn't find was the exact font, not sure if you can add fonts or not, but there were lots of others to choose from anyway.
What’s up bro? Thanks for all your tutorials. As far as the wood burners you listed. What are the pros and cons to each from your experiences with them. Just trying to see which one I would purchase. Thanks!!!!
Just bought my first wood burner and I’m wondering if yours came with a ton of tips? Mine did but everything is in Chinese. How would I find out what the tips are for? Loved your video because you made it easy to understand.. Thank you so much!!
I'm sure you've already figured out which tips do what, but in case someone else stumbles by - the best thing to do is get a scrap piece of board and try each one out. A couple of books to check out are: "Learn to Burn - a step by step guide..." and "Creative Woodburning: Projects, Patterns and Instructions..." both can be found on Amazon. 👍
@@CorneliusCreations I started about two years ago, and everything you did was spot on to what I figured to do, but that carbon paper huge huge help! I'm using charcoal which was making it harder, but now I get to use carbon to start, n once I'm going tracing, I'm able to burn n color my work. Thank you so much! ..
Your Site is fantastic. Quick question when you say thick burnt edges. Or the outlines supposed to be deeply Etched into the wood? I am a beginner and I’m wondering if I am making the lines too deep or pressing too hard? Thank you again
Glad you enjoy it! The outlines do not need to be burnt deep, just surface level scorch. When I say “thicken” I mean to make the lines wide. Hope this helps!
How do you get rid of any excess carbon that gets on the wood? I rub the paper first like you suggest but I still end up with excess carbon on the wood
Hi Matt. I wanted to ask a question. Can I wood burn into 1/8" to 1/4" luan. I have that as a top for a wine box, and want to put the newlywed's names on it. I'm always looking at your videos for inspiration. Keep making them. Thanks.
Can anyone recommend an app for a tablet that works for resizing patterns / letters to scale, cleaning up the image before printing and is easy to understand? I love my tablet but this is one area that is a HUGE disappointment, and is the only time I miss my big old desktop brick! 😒
So I tried following your video. Don't know what the issue is but the font used doesn't exist and when you said click here and hit the paint bucket there is no indication of any such thing. I haven't watched any further
PLEASE do NOT use sandpaper to clean your tips!!! It is a bad habit that ruins your tips. A leather strop & aluminum oxide will clean your tips & keep them polished.
Get your Wood Burner from Razertip here:
store.razertip.com/mm5/merchant.mvc?Screen=SFNT&Affiliate=Cornelius
Cornelius Creations The wood burner you listed on Amazon is not a razor tip. Which do you prefer these separate pans or the separate tips
If I may suggest a minor little tip here. Before you print your template, change the color to something lighter. Maybe change it to a blue color. that way when you are doing your tracing, you can see the lines you have already traced and you can easily tell when you are finished

Wonderful video, I just got my woodburner and starting on my 2nd little project..This was very informative!!!!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you fir this video. I was recently given a small keepsake box to burn and had no idea how I was going to proceed. Many thanks! ✌🏾❤️
Thanks for educating me 😊. Great job!
Definitely a tutorial that I needed. Not much time on my burner yet. Thanks Matt!!
Glad you enjoyed it and got something out of it bro!

Great video thanks for sharing your time and skill from the UK 👍👊
Hey Brian thank you for your comment bro! Glad you enjoyed the video bro’
Hello from Vermont, Matt, and thank you for sharing your expertise! New diehard fan here and glad I came across your channel.
Hey Alan! Awesome to have Vermont in the house. Glad you are enjoying the content!
Any tips for burning oak? The tip seems to like following the grain of the wood
Hi Matt. Thanks for your video. How did you make the "E" extender, please. Thanks for answering
I polished my wire tips. I do this with a leather strop and polishing compound also good for cleaning the carbon off.
Great idea!
Thank you from beginner, best video 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm going to try this, thanks!!!
Great video and awesome tips pardon the pun hehehe I am doing some chopping boards with writing burnt into one side for decorative purposes and I will be very happy to put some of your tips into action especially the scraping with the knife (very useful tip thanks) 👍👍👍
Glad you enjoyed it!
Learned things from your tutorial! Thanks! What razertip tip did you have on your pen? What are your most favorite tips?
Thanks!
The way you teach is 'awesome' buddy.
Hey Bill! Thank you man, I appreciate it bro!
As always, another great video. Never to old to learn, I say. Thanks Matt.
Thank you Ed, glad you enjoyed the video sir!
Hi Cornelius, you should've shown us what cheap will do also. Cause I have a cheap one from hobby lobby with a heating daily on it. Maybe you can show with that one too?.thanks for your videos and channel. I've learned a lot from you thanks again 😊

Thank you Bill!
what code did you use to add the banner? please
could you give us a link on amazon for the bit that you used. Please
Great tips, thank you
Welcome back!
Great helpful stuff as usual. Keep up your great stuff 😎👍
Hey Isa, thank you for the comment and encouragement! Glad to hear you are enjoying the videos.
hi matt thank U for the great tutorial,
I just got my burner or what ever its called and was happy to stumble on ur video.
What computer programs do you use for your graphics
Open Office
Awesome video! One thing I would recommend doing though is to lower the opacity or choosing a light to medium gray color to print what you plan on transferring. Helps eliminate issues like you had with the “A” and allows you to be more accurate on your edge as you can see the line you’re putting down as you trace.
Thank you man! That is a fantastic idea!
I’m in. between the razortip and colwood, which one would you recommend, it will be mostly used for writing names on cutting boards?
How often do you plan on using it? Do you want wide range versatility? Colwood will do good but Razertip is still king if you answered yes in those areas. The folks over at Klingspors woodworking shop is a great place to buy from. I have no regrets with my razertip.

Right on! I’m sure you will love it!
AWESOME video thank you for sharing,one thing how long you ave to wait before you can change your tip
Hi Matt, great video, I started making wooden signs using the burning technique, but found that the burnt detail soon faded when exposed to the outdoors e.g the sunshine. any tips to stop this happening? thanks.
Hey Claire! Yes, if you are outdoors you need to seal this with an outdoor rated laquer or urethane. This will solve your problem 👍🏻🤛🏻
Another fine ‘how to’, thanks
Thank you!

Corneeelius, where were you?...I haven't received your videos lately and I was missing you🙄. I am very happy today that I received this fresh one 😁😁.
Hey Alice! I have been sooo busy! I will be getting a regular schedule together :) thank you for this comment! It is nice to be missed! Haha
@@CorneliusCreations Woohoo that's cool you are back. Thank you😊
Can you stain the wood after?
Yes you can
Hi Matt. I wanted to ask a question. Can I wood burn into 1/8" to 1/4" luan. I have that as a top for a wine box, and want to put the newlywed's names on it. I'm always looking at your videos for inspiration. Keep making them. Thanks.
Yes, you could do that, just take your time and do a test on another piece of wood so you will see how it will react
Super fun!!!
Very!
Can anyone recommend an app for a tablet that works for resizing patterns / letters to scale, cleaning up the image before printing and is easy to understand? I love my tablet but this is one area that is a HUGE disappointment, and is the only time I miss my big old desktop brick! 😒
I use Autodesk sketch
I downloaded libre installed fontwork it won't let me highlight extra character
I don't think you need to, I couldn't highlight the extra character but it worked fine so maybe they've just fixed that aspect of the program.
Consider setting up a patreon. I think you'd get a lot of backers for these tutorials.
I appreciate this feedback bro!
I want to learn how to wood burn but on darker wood. How?
Same as you do lighter wood
What tip/burning pen did you use? What pens do you use most?
Downloaded libreoffice but the font you use is not in the dropdown list
Go to 1001free fonts and download “brandboll”. (I think I spelled that right) I will post a link ASAP for you
what are the smallest letters you ever carved on wood ?
Very very small!
Hey Cornelius may I ask a question
You sure may!
So I tried following your video. Don't know what the issue is but the font used doesn't exist and when you said click here and hit the paint bucket there is no indication of any such thing.
I haven't watched any further
What is your favorite tip to use? Thanks!
you can also use google docs
PLEASE do NOT use sandpaper to clean your tips!!! It is a bad habit that ruins your tips. A leather strop & aluminum oxide will clean your tips & keep them polished.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇬🇧
I just figured out. I know you! Haha
Were you in the band Pilot Drift???
I'll just have to contact the Amish for some carbon paper...
It’s Basswood not Base wood.
Yes, this was an OLD video lol
Fake.... Failure.
Hi could you please tell me the carbon paper you use mine is purple and l can’t get the purple out of the wood 🥲 tried just about everything
