New to the art of pyrography
I first bought one of those cheap ones - you know, the ones that when they arrive you realise you just bought a soldering iron ;)<br><br>So I bought the second cheap one - the unbranded red ones that get very hot...<br><br>Did manage to do some of these for the chicken market <br><br><img src="https://www.woodworkforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=455720&stc=1" attachmentid="455720" alt="" id="vbattach_455720" class="previewthumb"><br><br>But I thought that I should get something more professional that is nicer to use. I found an Ironcore on marketplace so bought that. Tips are very limited! I got 20.... all the same. So I gather I have to shape them myself?<br><br>Already I'm not really that happy with it. I find the point too far away from my hand so details are much harder (especially when you have a tremor).<br><br>Now the problem I have is that all other brands are a long way away so I can't get to them and try them. I'm in Australia. I like the look of the Walnut Hollow, but it's not in Australia and would take a long time to get here. I am looking at the Razertip and the Burnmaster but need some feedback please!<br><br>Things I am afraid I will regret - that, like the ironcore, the heated tip will be a long way from the handle. That extra tips seem to be awfully expensive! Especially with the Razertip -$42 for a tip - do they come with the pen, fixed on, so you change pens with each tip instead of just changing tips? But then they hare a set of tips with no explaination on how to change the tip.<br><br>I'm hoping to sell enough of the "breed boards" to the lovely chicken ladies (I'm one too, so no negative jokes about chickens please! We know we are crazy ;) ) to make a purchase worthwhile.<br><br>And drat it, the wood show was in March and I wasn't even thinking of Pyrography then!<br><br>Thanks for any advice :)
