Pyrography Hot Wire Machine

[Wendelspanswick]

Anyone bought one of the cheap pyrography pens from eBay, the hot wire type rather then the soldering iron type.

Spot on mate. Wife's been using hers for a few months. She's burning now as it goes so snapped some pics.
far better than the iron style and making custom nibs is easy enough. Bit of leather around the handle as it gets a bit hot when being used for long periods.

Sorry about the quality. iPad camera is poor.

Brilliant, thank you.
I've been whittling spoons using logs from my woodpile in the evenings and I fancy doing a bit of pyrography to embellish them.

She bought a soldering iron style one and there very slow and cumbersome.
The pyro pen is instant and can pretty much write as if it was a pen.

The only gripe with the above unit is heat transfer through the handle during extended use.
For the price it's a bargain.

See if you can find some silicone sleeving for it, silicone is non heat transferable.

RC model shops are a good source of it.

Looks good, with the interchangeable tips of different shapes it would appear to cover all output e.g. different, intricate fonts.

Bet you enjoy the chips from the air fryer too
