I'm only 4 days into this adventure and absolutely NOBODY should be taking advice from me, but one mistake I've already found is death-gripping the pyro pen. Perfectionism is not my friend with this art form. But I'm loving it and having fun, and it keeps me off the streets, so there's that ... 😄

Great tip! I used to do the same thing. I found that using gloves actually loosened my grip. Might try that. Thanks for sharing your experience! 🔥🙌

yes!! It hurts to do that! I noticed that i need a gripper or something to keep my fingers from suffering. lol

I’ve watched several of these ‘mistake’ videos, but this is the best one yet. I thought burning simple things would be easy. I still wanted a drawing, so I burned Mickey Mouse and Goofy on an inexpensive burner from Walmart. I made a lot of the mistakes mentioned here. Thanks for the personal experiences. Very well explained.

Brand new subscriber, love all ur videos so far! Just getting into pyrography, maybe 5 projects into it. I'm trying to decide if it's something I wanna try to make money with. Any plans on a video for pricing suggestions (I know each piece has a bunch of variables; size, details, skill level etc) or just some general tips on how to start making money from pyrography?

On the sanding of your wood. IF you are using something that's not the finest of grain like say, pine? I sand with a course grit, then go to a 220 grit, then I spritz my piece with water and it'll get the grain to 'stand up', then sand it again with 220 or higher. I did this with a cut off piece on a log home my husband and built. Pine grain is rough and I got that wood almost baby butt smooth.

I just started yesterday and my first attempts were a few symbols from my "Book of signs and symbols". Then I switched to a simple butterfly for my sister, a dugtrio (a simple pokémon for my niece) and now a few letters. All more for testing out, then for really creating. Can't imagine how hard I would have failed if I tried a portrait. XP

Enjoyed this video. You really explain things very well for this beginner. So far I play with the nibs and watch videos. I have done one burning and I'm actually semi-pleased with it. I dont want to mess around with shading just yet lol so I use watercolor pencils. What I tell my kids and hubby is that what I do I do for me and no one else for now. Now for the next video.

That is usually the difference between a solid point burner ($35) and a wire nib burner ($100-$400). I am actually working on a video describing the differences between them. 🙌

I have an Everglades burner and I only have been using one pen, I can’t find pens that are specifically for my burner. I’ve been playing on gourds and using prints on stick burn. I need other pens but not sure where to look or what …I saw where someone was critiquing a users work and telling her something about hesitation and stops and starts I think. And about being one with the pen. Made me wonder what someone would say about mine . I don’t know where to start looking at your videos!

Tried my burner today. I am from austria and i bought it for 8€ at "Action" but there is no temperature control so i might buy a wire one on Amazon. I feel like the burner I have is super hard to use. But it could also be me or the wood...idk😢

Possibly both, but any burner without heat control is definitely harder to use!

What would be the best sand grit number to use after wood burning ur piece?

@BurnSavvy 8 ай бұрын

I don’t typically sand after I burn, because it can damage the burn itself. But if I do, I typically stick with 220 grit, and try to avoid the burned portions.

1:00pm Jan. 14 Is Petuol a good burning tool?

@BurnSavvy 7 ай бұрын

Had to look that up on line. It looks very similar to the brand I use in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gq-JdKeV3rCVfWg.html That circular temperature gauge is one of my least favorites to work with, and the metal barrel is so long it’s hard to use. I would choose a different style burner. I prefer the one with the digital screen, or the one with the heat dial on the cord instead of the pen. This is the digital screen one: amzn.to/3vDv1Ct Heat dial on cord one: amzn.to/48TFKqL That said, I don’t like the solid point burner in general. I prefer a wire nib burner. If you would like recommendations on that, I can give that to you also.

Why is it that people insist on using ring lights that are so distracting to the viewer? Why not a cheaper soft box or two? It gets away from that "is that person drug affected" look.
