For someone who has done both types of projects, charcuterie and Lichtenberg burning, I know how difficult these projects can be. You did an awesome job sir👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
STOP doing wood burning!!!!!!! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. DO NOT TRY THIS!!!!!!! Even if the steps in the video are followed, YOU WILL BE KILLED WITH JUST 1 SLIGHT MISTAKE!!!!!!! IT’S 2000 volts, 20 times electricity needed to kill you in an instant. ONE TOUCH to the surface of the wood/clip/table/equipment WILL KILL YOU. AGAIN, DO NOT DO THIS!!!!!
I have learned a bunch from watching your videos. Especially when it comes to sanding. Your transformer works much better then my neon light transformer. You are a true artist.
Thank you very much! Ya the microwave transformer has a lot more power. The other fractal wood burner I have is closer to a neon light transformer voltage wise and it burns much slower and smaller. But you can still get some really cool buns you just need a little patience!
@bruceburnswoodshop 5:49 I’m an artist, welder, sculptor etc. My dad’s a welder, firefighter and has many other trades under his belt and my grandpa was a master woodworker and built instruments too. So after seeing some bad injuries growing up, I have a healthy fear of engines, chainsaws, electric machines etc. I was always told to respect the tool!! My dad always says the machine doesn’t care if it cuts your finger off or injures you in other ways, it’s important keep safety as your number 1 priority! Often times using tools without paying attention to what you’re doing 110% is when you get hurt. Especially when working with fast moving parts or electricity. If there’s anything I’d suggest for your videos is to tell people to RESPECT THE TOOL and keep safety as your #1 priority. Thanks for sharing your videos! They’re neat to watch!
Well you’re absolutely right that the tool doesn’t care if it takes your finger. It’s just something you always have to pay attention to while working. I appreciate the feedback! Respect the tool!!🤘
Great Job!! I actually like watching all of the steps you go through 👍👍 Old dogs do learn new tricks. Thank You for Taking the time in creating all of your videos.
Looks good, I’ve had a transformer for yrs already to do fractual burning but have not yet started , I’m constantly making something though 🤷♂️ ? Is Rubio food safe ?
Be very careful if you try. I do not recommend it. Many people don't understand how high the transformer puts the voltage up to. They think they're dealing with your household 120v when it actually puts the voltage up to 2000v or more. That kind of thing will fuse your contacts to your cornea and burn you from the inside out from a single touch. Sometimes it can even jump gaps. It would be incredibly painful, but usually death is instant. Imo it is not at all worth it. Transformers are not something to mess with unless you know the exact science behind them. Especially step-up transformers.
Hello I would like to know if there is a video of what you used other than the transformer to make your burner and how you assembled it as well. Thank you for your time
From Co Springs, I stumbled across this in my feed,. I'm a multimedia artist, and I found this Oh so tempting. you make it look easy, and you don't talk as fast as an auctioneer. Informative, not staged, and, (the worst) you make a 66 year old feel like, I can do this! Great wood working. I did notice the sound, speaking volumn , was inconsistent.
I am in my 80's, 🧙and built both micro-wave burner, ⚡🔥and the oil burner⚡ 🔥types. I utilize both of them. Safety is important, tooling also- distractions are a huge NO-NO !!!! Mix in a large batch of common sense, then try practicing Lichtenberg. You can't be too careful 🤠
I love seeing the projects you make with the fractal burned wood. Have you tried hooking a veriac up to your fractal burner? I’m able to get the burns to grow a bit more when playing with the amount of juice. I got my variac from Amazon for a little over $100. Keep up the great work and stay safe!!
I've been binge-watching woodworking videos lately, and this one is by far one of the best I've seen. Such precision and finesse in every cut and carve
I really enjoyed watching this process. I’ve never seen this before. It’s very interesting and seeing the finished piece really was inspiring. Would love to see future projects ❤
Great piece, I used to do this years ago and yes you need a kill switch ( never got it foot operated though :( I also had an audible alarm when it was live and a beacon coming off the heater winding of the Microwave TXR. These things have killed and injured many people. Watching this has given me a wish to do it again.
If I did not press the the kill switch down nothing energises and it did not latch so I guess its a deadman switch too. One thing I did do which looking back was way more dangerous but gave nice effects was having one electrode attached to a Nylon rod about metre long which I used to touch the wood and do finer work. Love all the other stuff you have to work the wood!@@bruceburnswoodshop1620
Wow! I just stumbled on your videos and fell in love! My husband and I do custom woodworking out of our garage.He has done 3 live edge bars with epoxy tops.We are wanting to do fractal burning now. Thanks!
Thanks for watching! Definitely stay tuned for my next video. I think the linchtenberg wood burner would be great for you guys if your just starting out!
Do not do the fractal wood burning. It can VERY easily kill you, and in the few cases you survive an accident it will maim you and likely start a very large fire. It is possible to do this without problems, but incredibly risky and extremely hard to make safe. All it would take is one mistaken touch
I have not, but that’s definitely something I think would look really cool! You can request custom work on my website if that’s something you would like made!
Thank you for showing a wonderful video of wood burning. My son and I truly thought that your work was amazing. Thank you for providing all of the safety information as well. Pretty good phone camera; however you are right you probably do need another media to record your fantastic videos. Please continue to share.
Thanks for making these videos, super beautiful to watch, about how much time does it take you to make a charcuterie board or some other art? What advice would you have for someone starting out in wood working in being profitable? Is this a hobby or a business to you? Also an electrician, so this is definitely up my alley.
Thank you! To be honest with you, I’ve gotten more efficient at making these pieces but it still takes around 5-7 hours depending on the piece. If you’re looking to make money , there’s many other things I would recommend before woodworking, it’s hard to make any significant money. It definitely depends on what you’re selling and for how much. But I will also say I don’t know if there’s anything that’s quite as enjoyable and satisfying as working with wood.
I would most differently like to learn how to fractal burn and about it I'm a recovering addict and wanting to do woodworking as my sober hobby I came across ur videos and I'm very interested in what you do It's a great skill I'd like to learn to get myself distinguished
The fractal Lichtenburg figures are cool, but I would never attempt it because of the dangers of electrocution--I appreciate the warnings as it appears easy for something to go wrong.
Great job!! I had an electrician to build me a fractal burner from a microwave transformer as well. I love it. I get excited watching the burn run. I work with epoxy and mica powder a lot. It's so soothing watching the sanding especially with the belt. OMG I want one now. Sorry the epoxy pour wasn't included. Your pieces looks awesome. Where did you find the finish coat?
Thanks you very much! Ya it’s a lot of fun as long as you stay safe! But thanks for brining the finish up, I’ll add a link to it in the video description.

It would be incredibly painful, but usually death is instant.
Thank you! Ya I’ll definitely make sure to at least go over how I made mine in my next video. I just don’t want anyone to try and replicate how I made mine and get hurt.
Love the Deadman switch... I had the same idea. Used a sewing machine pedal so I hafta. E standing on it for the most to get power. If I'm not in it, no power. But I still unplug before.movibg the leads to be safe
hey boss, just FYI what you are using is not a "dead man" switch. you are using a general foot pedal switch,, a dead man sw. has a dual off position, either by letting go of the switch, with your hand, also an overtravel off position, (incase you get electrocuted, Hines "dead man" , other than that GOOD JOB BRO!!
I just discovered your videos and I watch the black tail studios from time to time. I just like watching something being made.. and gives me ideas of something I might make one day. I made a bandsaw mill and can slab off some good boards with it, but I don’t have a planer or drum sander.. I think a planer is almost a necessity.
Thanks for the feedback! I can do more with my router sled than my planer. The planer is just nice because there’s no set up so it takes less time to get piece flat.
Great finished article, I had to pause the video half way through to go onto Amazon to buy the parts for my own fractal wood burning build, now I have to go back on to buy some resin LOL.
It is extremely dangerous with no room for error. Do it at your own risk. Before you do it ask yourself do I fully understand everything involved with this and do I accept the risks up to and including death. This project has killed trained electricians. After all of that If you decide to go ahead and do it you *MUST* always treat it like it's live and dangerous even if you swear it's unplugged. *DO* your own research until you fully understand every aspect of the project and safety measures to take. (be aware there is no way to fully eliminate the risks of death) Remember all it takes is the smallest mistakes to get a one way ticket to the afterlife.
always appreciate your take on safety and how important it is....I like all the videos and the way you put them together but something about watching the burning is mesmerizing
Kill switch, kill switch kill switch. never, I repeat, never burn without a kill switch. I like your creativity. Just wondering, did you ever consider using a neon sign transformer for burning? You can do amazing things using one. I’ll try to send you some photos of my work.
The best part I really like about all of your videos that I’ve seen so far, is the information that you give. Great work with that… weather it’s with the particular piece you are working on or it’s the information about the safety of Fractal wood burning. Thank you for that….
I have built my own fractal burner and made several projects. I enjoy the process. I did, however, get bit by the burner on my first try. Thank God I had some friends there, too. Took about 18 months to get close to it again. I now have a foot switch and do one step at a time before stepping on that switch. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger or wiser. I'm much wiser today. Great videos.
Great job, if I ma in your shoes , I would fractal burned the wood before cutting it in a mountains, , once you cut it it will shows the motives are suitable for différents pièces, I do that on a plywood , and I cut it after it looks nicer, but as you said each has his own way and we learned from the others too
Trevor was fantastic to work with on these pieces. The are absolutely beautiful and I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Trevor for taking on this special request!
No, nope, nada!! That wood burning equipment is not safe at all!! I'm glad you are knowledgeable in electricity. The majority of us are not as knowledgeable in it. This Is scary!
Badass pieces. Fractal wood burning is scary. I've been doing electrical work for 15 years or so mainly on the dc automotive side but still understand how dangerous it is. What are the mountains being used for? The one thing I was curious about was if they are using them as wall pieces they may be rough to hang with the way you lobbed off the peaks on your backing. Couldn't you have just used luan as the backing and it would've been easier to form to the mountains? Either way, kick ass job!!!
Yup super dangerous! It’s being used as a wall art piece, I used a string tied to 2 equally spaced screws in the back. This method makes it really easy to get it balanced perfectly. And thank you very much!! 😁
Saw your video some time ago on your set up using one of those hard plastic cases for tools and I haven’t built one myself like that but I definitely still plan on it. I like the idea a lot better than having it just out in the open while using, Just an accident waiting to happen. I got recommended this video asking an AI for some inspiration on what I can do with my random assortment of boards I have burned and filled with epoxy and coated like yours. Really like the mountain idea and I think I’m gonna try it, I’ll be sure not to make it an exact replica or anything 😝(just a joke, because you know, fractal patterns lol)
Dude knows his shit. I've been burning for like 10 years and it still scares me. Probly burned through 100 mots by now, but I built a case for my burner so it's safer, also surrounded on 5 sides with coy fans blowing full speed to keep cool. Seems to help so far
@@seanweiss6729 what’s making you blow through them? you just holding down on it full blast letting it arc? jw, I’ve only had one or two blowout on me so far in the last couple years and those are off just random old microwaves. I always do my burns in “burst”, using a foot petal to tap it on and off sometimes to manage the heat buildup from continuous arcing, and a variac could be useful for you too, i have one but idk how i feel about it yet, wasn’t getting as much power throat as I wanted but there’s about 5 to 10 different factors that could’ve contributed to that instead of just the variac. Really wanting to get a neon sign transformer at some point, I heard those things work a lot better if you get a good one and can make better patterns because of the higher voltage, unless burning through material, charging it from just the raw heat of the high amps from mot.
@@Woodburnworks I've got 4 neon sign transformers sitting. The mots worn better that the ones I have at least. They were from a local shopping center that got torn down, but they worked. . I think they are burning up from overuse... IDK. Usually doesn't take more than a day to get a new one... Free too.
@@seanweiss6729 yea absolutely lol, mot are such coincidentally perfect objects for the job, and also extremely easy to get, often free, almost anywhere lol. also do you know the voltage and amps the neon sign transformers are rated for?
Great project! Love the video. Good pace and narration. I appreciate your words on safety with the wood burning but you really made me cringe with your hands so close to the table saw blade. Please get some push sticks to keep you hands out from between the blade and the fence.
Thank you. This is really helpful feedback. I really do need to use the push stick more often. Sometimes you just get in the flow and don’t want to slow down but your right!
I am glad I found your video. It was very informative. I am thinking of getting into fractal wood burning and I want to be as safe as possible. I will definitely have an electrician friend of mine to help.

Electricity is a killer - respect it.
agreed--there is little margin for error using voltages like this--many woodworking hobbies aren't this dangerous.
I think they are astonishing, love them. I love watching wood burning i have seen some done😊
Thank you!!😁
I just started burning...I bought one of the machines you mentioned. I have noticed that borax works better than baking soda
Ive heard that before, I’ve been meaning to try that. Thanks for watching!

is there an alternative to epoxy? Great videos!
Not that I know of, I use epoxy because it forms a very strong bond to wood.

Beautiful and dangerous, great performance.👍😁
Thank you!!
It looks really nice, great job
Thank you!! 😁
Awesome job!
Thank you!
Excellent!
Thank you!!
Great job, if I ma in your shoes , I would fractal burned the wood before cutting it in a mountains, , once you cut it it will shows the motives are suitable for différents pièces, I do that on a plywood , and I cut it after it looks nicer, but as you said each has his own way and we learned from the others too
Very nice work
Thanks a lot!!
Nice work
Thank you! Cheers!
Fantastic work!
Thank you!!
What was the top coat
Trevor was fantastic to work with on these pieces. The are absolutely beautiful and I cannot recommend him enough. Thank you Trevor for taking on this special request!
If you charged $500 for this, you're underselling yourself. I would double your prices.
Thank you!
No, nope, nada!! That wood burning equipment is not safe at all!! I'm glad you are knowledgeable in electricity. The majority of us are not as knowledgeable in it. This
Is scary!
Looks (electrical pattern) like the American West on Google maps
Where does someone commission something from you?
On my website bruceburnswoodshop.com
Link is in the video description
hella cool
Thank you!
Badass pieces. Fractal wood burning is scary. I've been doing electrical work for 15 years or so mainly on the dc automotive side but still understand how dangerous it is.
What are the mountains being used for? The one thing I was curious about was if they are using them as wall pieces they may be rough to hang with the way you lobbed off the peaks on your backing. Couldn't you have just used luan as the backing and it would've been easier to form to the mountains? Either way, kick ass job!!!
Yup super dangerous!
It’s being used as a wall art piece, I used a string tied to 2 equally spaced screws in the back. This method makes it really easy to get it balanced perfectly.
And thank you very much!! 😁
Saw your video some time ago on your set up using one of those hard plastic cases for tools and I haven’t built one myself like that but I definitely still plan on it. I like the idea a lot better than having it just out in the open while using, Just an accident waiting to happen. I got recommended this video asking an AI for some inspiration on what I can do with my random assortment of boards I have burned and filled with epoxy and coated like yours. Really like the mountain idea and I think I’m gonna try it, I’ll be sure not to make it an exact replica or anything 😝(just a joke, because you know, fractal patterns lol)
Come to think of it a fractal isn’t even a pattern anyways, is it?
Dude knows his shit. I've been burning for like 10 years and it still scares me. Probly burned through 100 mots by now, but I built a case for my burner so it's safer, also surrounded on 5 sides with coy fans blowing full speed to keep cool. Seems to help so far
@@seanweiss6729 what’s making you blow through them? you just holding down on it full blast letting it arc? jw, I’ve only had one or two blowout on me so far in the last couple years and those are off just random old microwaves. I always do my burns in “burst”, using a foot petal to tap it on and off sometimes to manage the heat buildup from continuous arcing, and a variac could be useful for you too, i have one but idk how i feel about it yet, wasn’t getting as much power throat as I wanted but there’s about 5 to 10 different factors that could’ve contributed to that instead of just the variac. Really wanting to get a neon sign transformer at some point, I heard those things work a lot better if you get a good one and can make better patterns because of the higher voltage, unless burning through material, charging it from just the raw heat of the high amps from mot.
@@Woodburnworks I've got 4 neon sign transformers sitting. The mots worn better that the ones I have at least. They were from a local shopping center that got torn down, but they worked. . I think they are burning up from overuse... IDK. Usually doesn't take more than a day to get a new one... Free too.
@@seanweiss6729 yea absolutely lol, mot are such coincidentally perfect objects for the job, and also extremely easy to get, often free, almost anywhere lol.
also do you know the voltage and amps the neon sign transformers are rated for?
Great project! Love the video. Good pace and narration. I appreciate your words on safety with the wood burning but you really made me cringe with your hands so close to the table saw blade. Please get some push sticks to keep you hands out from between the blade and the fence.
Thank you. This is really helpful feedback. I really do need to use the push stick more often. Sometimes you just get in the flow and don’t want to slow down but your right!

As little as 10 MilliAmps is enough to incapacitate a person.
In a certain place.
I am glad I found your video. It was very informative. I am thinking of getting into fractal wood burning and I want to be as safe as possible. I will definitely have an electrician friend of mine to help.
It is extremely dangerous with no room for error. Do it at your own risk. Before you do it ask yourself do I fully understand everything involved with this and do I accept the risks up to and including death. This project has killed trained electricians.
After all of that If you decide to go ahead and do it you *MUST* always treat it like it's live and dangerous even if you swear it's unplugged. *DO* your own research until you fully understand every aspect of the project and safety measures to take. (be aware there is no way to fully eliminate the risks of death) Remember all it takes is the smallest mistakes to get a one way ticket to the afterlife.
As a lineman, usually you should be using Ag TO cable on your connections. That will handle that type of voltage in a very ometer doesn't hurt either
You were LITTERALLY 2 feet away from your work piece btw...
Nice piece, no doubt, but you WERE 2 feet from your work surface
This is cool! Ok, I'm in!
Gaining the info, on how to burn wood
Pretty cool dude really cool I love Art
Looks amazing dude. Cant wait for the comparison video. I would love to get into this as u no. If you wanna send the litchenberg machine my way get me in the game i would happily test it for u. Could be your Scottish ambassador!! 🏴🫢👍 Ps i wanna lern more of the fractal burning!
Thanks bro! And you can find them for sale on lichtenberg wood burning .com! Unfortunately I don’t have one to spare 😂 I may be making a full series on how to do fractal wood burning on my website eventually. So stay tuned to see if that happens! Thanks for watching!
@@bruceburnswoodshop1620 ahhh well you no always worth a shot know you creators get everything thrown at you thought could be worth an ask. A think you should do full series on it stick it on yt aswell. I'll certainly keep eye out for it. Problem I have is getting it here and there not exactly cheap the set from lectinburg but maybe one day. 👍🏴
