[Woodcarver] Woodburning System

[George Farrell]

Hi
  I've been woodburning for several  years.  I started with a nicrome 
wire type and found
that I didn't like it because the temperature of the wire dropped 
dramatically the instant
that it touched the wood.  I finally decided to switch to the solid 
point type and used it
ever since.  The solid point type can be found as a beginner's unit at 
about 600 degrees F
and a hight temp unit at 900 F.  My suggestion is to get the high temp 
unit and to build a
temperature controller (see my home page
                                http://none332.home.mchsi.com/
and then choose <My Woodburnings>)
  A place to look for one of these units is at a Michaels Craft Store.  
The hi temp unit
will cost about $25.
