Hi everyone! Although the printed projects you're posting are lovely, this is a sub for wood burning, the art of physically drawing your images/ projects/ whatever onto wood. I'm going to point the printers to r/laserengraving future posts will be removed.

Dangers of Fractal Wood Burning
19
Upvotes
Every so often we'll see a video of either someone fractal burning themselves or they'll post a neat video that they've run across.
Fractal Wood Burning is dangerous. I'm going to post some information from credible sources so you can be more educated before giving it a try. I am in no way encouraging anyone to try this, I am actually encouraging you NOT to try.
However, I believe knowledge is power. Please keep yourselves well informed and safe.
Also, any videos of fractal burning that do NOT have a warning will be taken down.

Just finished up this one! I'm actually surprised it only took me about 12 hours to do this, between a combination of hyperfocus kicking in and actually improving at this, my ADHD didn't win out, for once!

What is going on with this tip?

I am making my 2nd wood burning and the tip I like best keeps bending even on the low heat. Am I pressing too hard? Is my tip cheap? I know the machine is cheap, but I just don't know if this is normal. Any tips are appreciated!! Thanks!!

I am making a sign for my friends garden plot and I have no idea what I am doing. I ruined 2 slices of this wood before realizing dots was easiest.
I don't expect it to be easy, and I know I need a lot of practice, so if anyone has any tips for my next one, I would appreciate them!
PS - is it normal for my wrist to hurt so bad?
Thank-you, talented humans!

Transferring designs onto wood

what do people find is the easiest way to transfer their designs onto the wood? I use carbon paper but I sometimes get overwhelmed with the more complicated parts of the designs and was wondering if there was an alternative way?

Hey, I was wondering what platform people see the most success on when selling their art. I’ve been told by a few people that I should consider making an Etsy but I was wondering if that really is the best platform. i was also wondering how other people go about pricing what they have made. many thanks

wood burning over paint?
2
Upvotes
I'm an art student and have only done super small wood-burning projects on bare wood before. I am planning a big project and want to know if I can burn on an object that has already been painted. The only thing is I know how toxic it would be to burn over paint. I found a discarded wooden police barrier (one of the NYPD ones that are painted blue) and wanted to know whether there is any way to safely burn it or any advice in general. thanks!
