On this page, you can see various hints tips for Pyrography and other crafts, so you can avoid some of the mistakes I madeHere are some short cuts to the relevant bits. Click on links for pictures or sites. I use the Peter Childs Pyrography machine, with a heat reducing accessory box for some of the fine work. I find it easy to work with, and you have a great choice of wire thicknesses, plus the ability to shape your own points as you need them. Its a great machine, simple easy to use, with a nice light pen, a quick way of swapping points, temperature control everything youd want. Its easy You just snip off a length or wire, maybe about an inch long, and hold it in the middle, ideally with a small pair of needle nose pliers. Hold it so that about a quarter inch is held in the jaws, and bend both ends the same way, so you get a square loop. Then hold the end of the loop in the jaws, so that about quarter of an inch of the loop end is trapped in the jaws, with the loop on one side of the jaws, and the two tails on the other. Hold it very firmly, and spread the ends out, away from each other at 4.

Now you should have something that looks like a pen nib a wire tip You can make these points as wide or as narrow as you like a very common tip is one where the loop is actually of no width at all, ie the wire is doubled back on itself completely. This is great for fine lines, tiny dots, etc. You can even make it sharper, by squashing it hard with the pliers, or filing it down, on sandpaper or a file. To fit it, you just undo the pen terminals a bit with a small screwdriver, insert one end of the loop in each terminal, and do them up again very firmly. I actually like my tips to be kind of stepped, so that they dont extend straight out from the pen, but are stepped downwards, closer to the work. To do thus, hold the narrow part of the loop in the pliers, like you did when bending out the tails, and push both tails upwards a bit. Shift the jaws to hold the splayed part of the tails, and push those downwards the same amount. Then you put it in the pen so that the tip is closer to the work than the tails, and it makes it easier to get a smooth line. Or I suppose you could just bend it to where you want it while the tip is mounted in the pen. I started working on plywood, as you can see here. I used the fine points for most of the work, and the spoon point for some of the shading. But the stripes are rather obtrusive thats why plywoods not made it as a popular choice of surface, I guess So, I thought that perhaps it would be better to try work with the grain of the wood, rather than just place a design over it. I examined all the pieces of plywood carefully, looking for shapes that suggested a design. Graphite Bold Font' title='Graphite Bold Font' />I found one where the darker areas looked like cliffs against the sky, and made this picture. I took the eagle outline from some clip art, then designed the rest around it, using the contours of the plywoods grain. Very quick, light movements of the pen were needed to get the feather effects in the eagles wings. Using the grain like this proved far more successful, as the colours of the wood give nice background tints to the picture, rather than being an obtrusive pattern over the design. Much better. Flushed with the success of this technique, I tried another piece of plywood with an interesting grain pattern, this time completely freehand risky The shapes of the grain suggested a mountain range, with trees below, and so I worked with this to make a landscape. The arch hides a defect in the wood, making it into a feature of the design insteadBold style, seamless comfort. Style is nothing without comfort.

Glass pressed beads made in the Czech Republic and available in hundreds of different shapes, colors, and finishes. When I was done, the sky looked too empty, so I added a dragon in flight, making this piece. Shading the sides of the mountains was very difficult, as these pale, soft areas burn very quickly, even with the lowest heat setting and a spoon point. This is where with hindsight a thicker wire point would have been far more appropriate. When I realised I now had some nice designs stuck in the middle of great big chunks of plywood, I cut out all these pieces with an electric jigsaw, and sanded the rounded edges smooth. To do this, I used a belt sander, with some assistance from Bill, whos been doing this for years. In doing this, I learned several very useful things. Bill I tried using my newly purchased from the excellent Screw. King Of The Road Game For Windows Xp there. Fix Direct electric scroll saw wheee a new toy to cut out the Celtic Triangle design, and found that this isnt as easy as it looks, either. I recommend a very slow pace of cut, and planning your curves ahead like sewing round corners with a sewing machine. Sony Xperia And Install. And do mind your fingers, cos that blade wont even notice slicing into your nice soft digits. I found the oak for the cards quite difficult to work with, as it has a grain with myriads of tiny dents that just will not sand smooth. It also does not seem to take on shades as it burns, so your work is basically monochrome burned or not burned. But I think the designs I made suit the pen ink look, and so the end result looks pretty good. However, the internal text proved very difficult, and ended up somewhat uneven. I tried making various points with the fine wire that came with the machine, but couldnt eliminate the tendency of the oak to char very quickly and blotchily. Now I know from Roy Childs very helpful advice that what I really needed to use was thicker wire, to make a cooler point. To protect my work, I now give everything a couple of coats of water based PVA clear satin varnish on both sides, rubbing them down lightly with some wire wool in between. This has given them a nice finish, hasnt changed their appearance too much, and has prevented them from becoming grubby with handling, which was happening surprisingly quickly. Its great stuff, PVA varnish water based, doesnt smell, and this kind doesnt come up too shiny. I dont know how itll perform over time, but Ive used it on shelves such and they havent discoloured yet. About 6 months after I got the machine, Id decided that what the square pictures needed was framing, as the raw edges of plywood arent all that appealing. As you can see, they look so much nicer when framed. So, Bill to the rescue once again, bringing me home a huge box as a surprise one day a mitre saw Yay So, we bought some moulding too much fuss to make it, even though theoretically we could do it with a router from Homebase, and put the saw together, and had a go. I did have to buy a different blade for the saw, though, as the one that came with it was ideal for cutting skirting board or whatever, but a bit over the top for such tiny, thin moulding. Its fiddly to do, cutting moulding making frames, but by no means impossible. PVA glue works fine for fixing the corners together, and the pictures into their frames you dont need pins or anything. You do need mitre clamps, though, to get two sets of corners made. After that, when you glue those together into a frame, you can use rubber bands to hold it all together Less than professional, but it worksIts a swine to keep it all square, though you MUST have the pairs of sides exactly the same length, and all the corners exactly 4. And it does really seem to make the pictures look better.
