Before you get started with wood burning, you need to watch these safety tips! You can wood burn any wood as long as it's raw, untreated wood. Wood that has been stained, finished, or painted can never be used for wood burning projects.
A wood burning tool heats up, so it's best to be careful and learn about how to use the tool correctly before starting a project.
The good news is that wood burning is easy to learn and doesn't require lots of technical knowledge.
The tips I mention here are:
1. Wood Burning Tools are for Adults Only
2. If you have long hair tie it back. Don't wear loose sleeves or have anything
that can hang near your tool or project.
3. Keep your tool unplugged unless it's in use.
4. Only work on a stable, heat resistant, flat table without any messes nearby.
5. Hold your wood burning tool like a pen or pencil.
6. Never touch the metal part of your tool. Only hold the tool on the plastic, coated portion.
7. Make sure your tool tip is securely in place. Don't change tool tips while the wood burning tool is hot or plugged in.
8. Don't use a tool stand. They're not that great. They actually kind of suck!
9. Don't let your cord hang in a place where it could get caught on you, your chair, or a pet. Unplug your tool as soon as you are done burning or if you leave the room.
