>I have a cheap hobby woodburning kit that I use occasionally and I've had for years.It works but it's slow and clumsy and burns your hand if you're not real careful. Does anyone have any experience with a better quality version of this tool?I'd like to upgrade mine.Thanks---Jack

I am a carpenter by trade.Also a handyman/Jack -of-all-trades.I work around my neighborhood mostly helping people keep up their old houses.I have a fairly large woodworking shop in my house where I work with both hand and power tools. At the moment I'm focusing on Windsor chairs building.I will build most anything if needed. I'm always learning,adapting,changing trying to broaden my woodworking skills.I work mostly with hand tools in my shop but will use power if it is a better way to get the desired result. My wife,Donna,and I live in the woods of Maine with our dogs,cats,and birds. We have 5 grown kids and six grandchildren. Woodcentral has been central to my growth as a woodworker. I pass through this place every day.

>Jack, go check the Turning forum. Lots of the turners over there decorate their pieces by burning them, and will have many useful recommendations. I've seen several discussions on wood burners.

>Thanks William.I posted this same question on the main messages forum and got some excellent responses.I guess woodburning isn't common amongst galoots. It does require a cord. However,I suppose one could heat various homemade irons in a fire and do some neanderthal pyrography.---Jack
