Just found your channel and very helpful in lots of ways. Was an old time crafter but for yrs was out, now back to doing what I love. Making things with my hands, thanks for sharing your talent
Hello sue,i,'ve just started wood burning,and I've bought a lot of you instructional books,and now these video,s on you tube,they really help a lot, I've already been practing the technical parts of drawing,and the use of different nibs...my hope is to be half as good as you are...and thank you.
Hi Sue! I'm so glad to have found a video by you here on TH-cam! I have your book "Pyrography Workbook" and am quickly learning the art of woodburning. I really appreciate your book and it's very helpful to see your video! Wishing you all the best and letting you know how happy I am to be expanding into an entirely new artistic medium thanks to people just like you! A+++ Thumbs UP!
dunno if anyone cares but if you're stoned like me during the covid times then you can watch pretty much all of the new movies and series on InstaFlixxer. Been streaming with my brother for the last few days =)
Thank you Sue for sharing, I look forward to buying DVDs and learning more. You are very inspiring, and are very talented, hope you create more free TH-cam video's also they are what made me go shopping
Thanks so much for your post. I've been doing pyrography for only about 6 or so months. This video helped me to understand how I don't need to try & get everything done in one stroke, but that I can do various layers of lighter to darker shading to achieve better realism. Thanks again!
This is such a fantastic series of videos! This greatly helped to explain my razor pen types and their capabilities. I've checked out a fair amount of videos, and these were the only ones I actually feel I've gained some new tips and tricks for my pens. Fantastic, can't thank you enough for your time making these.
Thank you so much,your work is amazing and all of your videos are helpful. Thank you for taking up your time to show us how to use tips. I will take all these ideas into my shed and get busy. Debbie
O.K. now I am a little confused ...do these have different names in your book 'Pyrography Workbook.A complete guide..'Please tell me which nibs to buy to do the patterns in your book by what name you use here and what name you describe them in your book. And can you tell me if you sell them as I would prefer to buy from you if you sell. Thanks for this demo.
If I wish to just do one large feather, which shader should I buy or will I need variable sizes>? Please tell me which ones.! ThaNKS.! Love your book ...'Pyrography Workbook..A complete guide..' I find it so interesting.
There is no need to have different sized shaders for most projects. (Obviously miniature work often need a smaller size.) the important thing with shaders is to find a style that works for you. I personally find a spoon shader is my go to...but you might prefer a flat round, square, spear. For a feather I think a spear, flat round or spoon would be good. Also...IMPORTANT to keep in mind. A bigger shader does not mean you can cover more area faster. The more metal in a tip, the more time it takes to heat up and to recover heat once lifted off the surface. A small, medium shader recover heat much faster.
hoping to learn something .. first time doing any wood burning and ive watched a few of your videos.. nice!!very nice work... i bought the 5 in 1 hobby woodburner..ha!! im guessing i'll be buying something more up to it once i ruin a ton of wood!! but my brother owns a tree service and ive got a wood plainer so its a hobby id like to maybe some day make a xtra buck off of... again,nice work i'll be watching all your videos im sure..thanx
I'm sorry but I found this useless. I'm trying to understand how to shade using the tips. Instead you demonstrated that the shading tools can make straight lines.... Thanks?? You showed pictures of your amazing work using shading but didn't tell us how to do it. I want to learn how to shade. I got nothing out of this video.
CandyCane =) I can understand your frustration about shading....it's by far the most difficult aspect of pyrography to grasp and master. But I'm afraid your frustration at me is misdirected in this case. This free video, which took a lot of my time to produce, is entitled 'Pyrography TIPS Explained, The Shader'....not 'Pyrography Shading Explained'. You said I only showed how a shading tip can 'make straight lines'. A pyrography tip is a broad piece of metal of a set width. The way most people shade with this tip is to abut and overlap a series of 'lines'. The lines can be straight or curved or circular or whatever suits the subject matter...but the fact remains a shading tip burns a wide line and the overlapping and build up of these 'lines' is what creates gradient tone....in other words, 'shading'. Please try and remember that we put these videos up free of charge in the hopes of helping others. The sarcasm of your 'thanks??' isn't warranted.

What brand are you using?
Very helpful. I am just learning and smooth gradients are a challenge.
They are to a lot of people, Sean. I'm going to do a vid on that soon. Glad you like it.
Tolle Technik. 🤩 hammer Ergebnis 👍🏻

CandyCane =) You should probably learn to read titles of the videos first before commenting like a goober.
+CandyCane =) Ungrateful, rude and tacky.
+Julie M Thanks Julie:)
CandyCane ) Apparently you didn't watch the video. She clearly showed the methods of shading and explained it very well.
