It's all fun and games until you burn a finger! Especially when you're trying to change the tip, so be careful.
Hobby Hoarder Hey what was the stuff you said to spray on at the end?
Club Sandwich It's called spray lacquer. Much easier to use than having to brush it on.
Hobby Hoarder Thanks man I’m glad to start getting into the hobby
Hey friend, could you use the same techniques for walking sticks?
Yeah I'm good at burning myself, I'm waiting on my kit coming, I also ordered a fire glove for the hand that moves the wood.
Cheers for this upload I'm looking forward to play nice 😁
"artistic skills of a dead horse" got me subscribing
Same here
A dead horse can still fart. Farting is not only an art, but its art with an F.
Same, thanks
Literally hit subscribe as soon as he said it! 😆

Hi, I was shown this in 8th grade woodworking class. Brings back so many memories of me making a jewelry box for my mother who’s passed away now, soldering my name to the bottom of it. I’m 43 now have a candle company. Would love to incorporate this onto my wooden candle jar tops.
That sounds like a great idea, definitely give it a try. I've also seen people having their logo created onto a metal stamp and using that to mark/burn their products.
Thanks! I’ll definitely look into that! Like right now.
OH MY GOD. I bought the wood burning pen yesterday, and I was literally drawing the SAME hylian shield you are making. INSANE!!
Artistic skills of a dead horse - gotta be the best opening statement I've ever heard 😆 🤣
Subscribed !
Hehe, happy to hear that and thank you!
Can't wait to try wood burning, such a creative way to personalize items! 🔥
first person I have seen 00 to use hid god given natural drawing skill to make a sign --well done
Oh my gosh that sticker paper idea is brilliant!! Thank you
Wax paper works well

The sticker paper idea is absolute genius! As is having a soldering iron as a back up.
Thank you! I can't take credit for the paper idea though, it's been floating around TH-cam for years.
@@HobbyHoarder it's a good idea if you can't draw so well, I'm an artist so I probably do my own.
@@ChrisR_68 This works with wax paper also!
Perfect timing on this. My wife wants to make a giant 6' wood ruler growth chart for our son, seems like the easiest way to make the markings is burning.
That sounds like a great idea and the marks won't fade away over time.
am I the only one who loves the smell of burning wood
A big tip for shading that I have learned is to use a rounded tip piece on the burner and have the heat around medium (or anywhere less than the normal heat level you prefer to use as long as it still leave a mark) and make tiny circles. If it's low enough it will take 3-4 repetitions to get a medium level shade. So just lightly serial around in tiny circles till you fill in the space you want shaded, make sure to have a consistent pace to make sure everything is even and dark spots don't show up too frequently
Another tip for if you make a mistake you can take a knife or carving tools and lightly scrape the burn off.
Great tips, thank you for sharing!
Thanks for posting this! Very informative, and well done with the editing. Learned a lot through the transfer tutorial and also the plier technique to remove the tip. Again, thanks!
Sticker paper inkjet printing - absolute genius! Why did I not know this before? Great tips, I’ve just bought a pyrography pen, so I am off to draw on wooden things!
Good luck, I'm sure you'll love it!
So all I have to get is get sticker paper for my printer and it will work
This is very informative and well-produced video, thank you! ...
Best tutorial i've seen so far. Thank you.
Another amazing intro and "how to"- thanks so much! This looks like a lot of fun to try out!
Newbie here.
Thanks for this video. Awesome way to start.
I bought just recently a set and was looking for a tutorial.
First search, first hit...
Thank you... 👍🏻
Thanks for getting in touch and I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with it.
You are the first one who mentioned calligraphy. Thank you 🌼
It helped me a looot !
Always happy to hear that, thank you for getting in touch!
Perfectly balanced, as all thing should be... I've tried wood burning a long time ago but without these method, it wasn't very beatiful...

I’ve watched several wood burning tip videos and this had the best information!! Thank you so much!
Thank you, I'm really happy to hear that :)
Finally a good use for my ruined Lidl soldering station!
The inkjet transfer is simple and ingenious. I haven't even thought about that... It would even be perfect for stamping small pieces of wood without wood burning!
Yep, it's great, but here's the best part - it works just as well if you print in colors! I didn't since I was going to burn over it anyway, but if you'd simply want to have something on wood, it's even better in full colors.
Wonderful video and cutely funny while super informative. Thanks!
Never even thought of this as a hobby until watching this, I’m hooked.. thank you so much.
I'm sure you'll have tons of fun with it and it's very cheap to get into. Good luck!
The ruler idea for straight lines is genius, Thank you 😊
Glad to hear it helped!
Fantastic video thank you I've just started wood burning
I really appreciate you showing me how its possible to burn shapes and names.
I'm now on a mission to burn names into my turned wooden stools. 👌
I'm glad to hear that, I'm sure you'll do a wonderful job.
This is very informative and well-produced video, thank you!

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you
Thanks for the tips! The sandpaper tip will come in handy for me. I didn't know about the carbon build up and was unsuccessfully trying to remove it with a damp paper towel.
Happy to help! Just be sure to use a high grit sandpaper, otherwise your tip might wear out quickly.
Thankyou for the tips I can’t wait to get started
I'm sure you'll do great!
So many amazing tips here thank u so much
You had me at accent and dead horse! 🤣🤣 love it! ♥️

"The artistic skills of a dead horse" haha I can relate! Thanks for your video! :)
Thanks for this! I bought a beginner kit and hope to make some nice plant labels for my garden
My pleasure, have fun with it!
Thanks I found it really helpful
I’ve been trying to come up with a clear name for a channel like this and I think you’ve nailed it! Well done :)
Hehe, thank you :) I didn't want to "lock" myself in into a particular hobby, so I came up with a name that can cover any of my plethora of hobbies :D
@@HobbyHoarder Right? :) I also tend to jump around from one to another and back again. I don’t plan to master anything but I love when something I’ve learned in one context becomes useful in a totally different situation. It’s nice knowing a little bit about a lot of things.
@@AVspectre I used to have a lot of anxiety because I was trying to do so many different things, knowing I'll never actually be good at anything. But now I see it as a good thing; even if I won't be great at something, at least I get to try out a lot of different things.
Simply put. Well done.
Thank you, much appreciated :)
@@HobbyHoarder Absolutely pal.
Excellent video, thank you! I change my tips with a pair of pliers so I don't have to worry about the heat. I didn't know how to remove the black buildup, great tip with the sandpaper.
Thank you, I'm glad you've liked it. Just be sure not to use too coarse of a sandpaper or you might end up sanding away most of the tip.
@@HobbyHoarder I'm currently finding that out lol. I truly dislike things made out of copper. Very soft when hot.
Great video! I’m convinced to give it a try
I'm sure you'll have lots of fun with it!
Thank u for this video. You gave some great info. And you obviously do have talent😊🌳✨
Thank you, I really appreciate it :)
Thank you ❤for sharing
Wow thanks for the video! Love the printer trick.
Thank you, happy to hear that :)
Really good video, im new to wood burning , this has been a big help, thank you.
Thank you, very happy to hear that
@@HobbyHoarder I'm happy that you are happy! :P
Thanks for this great vid and love the " dead horse" will give this a try now!👍
Have fun :)
Thank you for the great video!
Very good video. Informative.
Very nice video thankx for sharing..interesting
Very nice I just purchased a woodburning tool you made it seem easy😁👏🏽 I'm going to set my hands to the wood practicing thank you for sharing 💯‼😁
Thank you Cynthia, I'm sure you'll have plenty of fun :)
Tiene mucha distancia entre la MANO y la PUNTA .....sin duda tienes MUY buen pulso.....y mucha práctica
Thanks for your informative and fun video 😀
Thanks for dropping by!
Getting to know that burner in the beginning is huge! I love that you added that at the beginning. 🔥🙌 I’d like to add that there’s a quick catchphrase that really helps my students - “light, low and slow”. Use light pressure (pushing hard can break tips), lower heat (until you have more experience), and slow (be patient, you’ll get faster with practice). Keep burning!
Great tips, thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the video. This has been one of the most informitive one so far!
Thank you Dan! I'm trying my best to avoid 30 minute videos if the same can be said in 5 :)
@Hobby Hoarder I now Idalize you as my hero sir you have made my day.
Thank you, and you've made mine :)
Awesome, thank you so much for this video.. all the best for 2024 ❤🙏🏻
Thank you, I wish the same for you and your family.
Thanks so much! My mother got me a wood burning kit a few years ago and I just found it while cleaning my closet and decided to finally give it a go. Luckily enough I had label sheets on hand to make a tracing and I used AI to come up with a tracing for me. I made a burning of an Indian motorcycle, I can't believe how well it turned out for my first ever attempt. Thanks again
That is so good to hear! Such a clever idea to generate a tracing, now you have a truly unique piece to show!
great video thanks!
About to start this hobby. Fingers crossed!!!
You've got this!
Excellent
"I have the artistic skills of a dead horse." OH MY GOD 🤣🤣😂😂
Good work👍👍
Makes me want to really get involved with it.
Then go for it, you'll be amazed how simple it really is.
Thanks
Good good thanks
Thnx 👍🏻
you're great - thank you
No, you're great :)
This is my first time oh hearing about pyrography (wood burning)
I subscribed to your channel and my notification is on 👍
Thank you Tyrone, I really appreciate that :) Let me know if you ever need help with anything!
I asked for a wood burning kit for my birthday. Maybe I’ll get one! They look like so much fun to play with! I also have the “artistic skills of a dead horse!”
I'm sure you'll have a wonderful time with it! And don't forget to show us all the cool things you'll make with it.
@@HobbyHoarder I don't know how to add a picture in here. I've been practicing here and there. I made my daughter a simple sunflower today and colored it in with colored pencils. Sent her a picture and she says she loves it!
@@vickiel914 That's wonderful to hear, thanks for letting me know!
You can't upload photos directly to TH-cam, you'd have to do it elsewhere and then share the link here. But that's ok, I'm sure the sunflower looks amazing and what really matters is that your daughter loves it. Congratulations!
U r the best
First i did my name. Then i made an Block of 8 by 8cm Of the old vans logo with the Mountain and some shades in thee back. Daaang!!! That was Nice. I really love it and im proud of myself! 🤙🏻

Great video! and thanks for bringing back a distant memory!
I did this way back in my young teens (more than half my life ago;) at school, combined with metal work to make a custom house name plate.
Mine featured a rectangle of wood with the house name burnt onto the surface in this way. They had some glorified soldering iron then too :)
I printed out text created in some application on the Acorn Archimedes (there's a clue:) but I think I just cut out the text as a stencil.
As I lived on a small farm and my mum had a couple horses, I decided to make a simple horse plough on top and some styled spirals on the bottom.
So I bent some metal strips using heat, an anvil and a hammer, then made a very simplified horse plough with a angled length on top, a circle for the wheel and then an elongated circle but shaped into the outline of a plough blade.
Come to think about it, what a great school that was!
Thank you, I'm glad to hear that!
That sounds like such a cool project. Do you happen to have a photo somewhere?
@@HobbyHoarder No I don't sorry, digital imagery was basically non existent then.
Not sure I would wan't to publically show something I did when I was about 14 either, cringe :D
Hehe, come on, you were 14, you'd get a pass if it wasn't made perfectly.
Super
I recommend looking in your local area for wood to burn on. There are people who sell it cheap. If you are in the Mountain City TN Area, Cannons Hardwoods sells it cheap 😊
