[Woodcarver] Re: Woodburners (& Woodbutcher Chat)

I agree with you  Mike, the convenience factor does enter in.   I didn't think about that since my unit takes two pens with just a switch to change from one to the other.  Most of the time I only use two tips and when I do change tips I consider the time it takes as bit more time to plan what needs to be burned next.

Jan,
Colewood tips come with a special removal tool.  Big Dog set me up with them at the Artistry in Wood two years ago.  Like I said… it’s a smart little system that seems to work well <except for my klutziness>, but it’s still not as efficient as swapping pens at the plug/jack (IMHO).
 
Sorry I missed you too Woodbutcher.  Yvonne and I had a hotel room waiting for us at Niagara Falls Saturday night after the Hamilton Wood Show, or I would have gone up past Toronto, and hunted you down <I KNOW where you live>.  Had to eat it all by yourself… sounds like tough situation… Hey, all you had to do was call for support ;-).  I did see your wood spirit chair at the OWC… looked even better in the flesh.  One of those wood spirits looked like the carver might have been a student of yours… it had that Woodbutcher style J.
 
Keep on Carvin'

 Even when I was patient enough for the tip to cool, removing the thing often launched it across the shop, landing with a “ping”
