Most used tips homemade and purchased
I would like to hear what tips all of you use the most. That would include those that you make as well as those you purchased. I have purchased some nichrome wire and am in the process of making me a couple pens and tips to go with them so any comments or pictures you may have would be helpful...
I am totally new to this but wanting to jump in with both feet!!
Thanks in advance for your help!!

I bought my Peter Childs 'pen' several years after I had my Janic transformer unit and the only tips that I have ever used are made from the nichrome wire that came with the Janic kit. If I want a spoon tip then I turn it on full and using a big hammer as an anvil I bash the end flat.. All the rest is done with a plain wire tip. My bible is 'The Complete Pyrography" by Stephen Poole. A very good book and it gives exercises to do for the various textures, well worth buying..
Amazon.com: The Complete Pyrography (9780946819768): Stephen Poole: BooksMy ambition is to grow old disgracefully. So far my ywife recons that I'm doing quite well! John.

I have found some good information at a person's website in England. He has quite a bit of handy information as well.
Thanks again!!
