Burning wood is an activity that can captivate not only a child, but also an adult. There are many models of burners on the market today, and making a choice is not at all easy.
Instructions
Step 1
Devices are traditionally divided by manufacturers into two conditional categories: for beginners and experienced craftsmen. Get Qiddycome, Biltema, Weller, Stayer if you're just starting to burn. These devices are equipped with various shaped nozzles and a tip made of refractory metal.
Step 2
If you are purchasing a device for a child, be sure to check that the selected electric burner has anti-scald elements, and that the kit includes a handle stand and a cover for the working area. Often, the kit also includes sketches for work.
Step 3
Take a look at the package contents. Give preference to a device that has a spare needle in the kit, thanks to its presence you will be able to control the thickness and depth of the pattern and picture yourself.
Step 4
Pay attention to the functionality of the model you like. There are devices only for burning wood, there are devices for burning wood and fabric (guilloche).
Step 5
Choose "Pattern-1", "Elm", "Orbit", Wetecom, if you feel the strength to create large panels. These devices have a wire tip, as well as a special heating regulator. The kit usually includes up to ten needles of various lengths and thicknesses. A significant disadvantage of such devices is their heavy weight, moreover, the handles often overheat, and the plastic elements are deformed. However, professionals advise to have both types of devices at hand, because they have a different footprint, and therefore perfectly complement each other.
Step 6
Use a wire-pin electric burner for pyrographic designs. It consists of a step-down transformer, an electric cord and a handle with a pin, the tip of which is made of nichrome wire. Such a device allows you to burn out complex scenes, combine performance techniques, and also play with light and shadow in the picture.
Step 7
For professional flat and deep burning, purchase body pins. You cannot buy a new device of this type - they are simply not produced, but they are considered the best when performing complex author's works. To work with body pins, you will have to use a thermal booster with a gas burner, on which you will need to heat the tip of the pin.
