Pyrography! Getting Started Part 1 of 4 videos
For the last year I have been focusing on my love for Wood burning or Pyrography. Folks say I should concentrate on it. I thought i would do a little 4 part series on how to wood burn. This is the first of four. We will cover Getting started in this one, Image transfer in the next, My best secrets and tips in the third and for the final video we will take the image we transferred and burn it from beginning to end.
I hope you enjoy and see what I love in doing this art

Spot on ! Great video thanks
This is such an exciting fun idea!
@@dragonflychicki75 thank you! 😁
@@epeiusgarage You're welcome 🙃
One question, why not make your fill hole just barely bigger than the mounting nut that comes with spout? A long harbor freight hemostat or some longer tool would help mount rubber seal ant nut on rear of spout for a great seal. No silicone needed.
@@goodwinml yeah I thought about that but then comes the challenge of finding a stopper to fit. Not to say I looked that hard lol. Go for it. My videos are just to give ideas. It’s no fun if everyone makes them the same.
Nicely done Andy! This is one of the best things of becoming a woodworker, helping out others and saving a heirloom. And @adrianhiggins83 is spot on…it prevents the horse from rocking to far forward or backwards and tossing the rider.
@@michaeldoto4673 yeah figured that’s what it was but I had one as a kid without and it was impossible to get it to tip that much. Thanks again for watching and your support. I think you missed my free sticker give away. Send me your address to my email and I’ll send you a couple. My address is in the description
I’m late to the party Andy, however I just wanted say you did a brilliant job! I’m a massive consumer of books-I read 2-3 a week- this project really appeals to me. I wish we had more people like her and you reaching out and helping the community. Congratulations to all you!
@@michaeldoto4673 thank you, I need to make more time to read.
Beautiful work, Andy! It turned out amazing! 😃 Nicely done!!! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
@@MCsCreations thank you!
Designed that way as a stop to stop it from tipping over in use.
Awesome job looks beautiful! Good catch on the rockers! Liked the intro riddle but now my brain hurts trying to figure it out 😂

Great Job Andy!! Looks new but still vintage. Would be cool to know or even see the customers reaction.

I do love it. Andy did a great job. I can’t wait to see my new grandbaby riding it in about a year or so.

The Freud SD508 dado set doesn't even belong in the same workshop as a Harbor Freight rust magnet. NO COMPARISON when it's a 24 tooth vs. 24 tooth set, instead of the comparison you did.
Hi. On the stands to hold the block how did you fix.? Were they just glued.?

@@MrCretemaniam thank you! I appreciate that.
Thanks, this video helped me do the leds. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@ericsjo3614 I’m always glad to help
look great.I made them from 3x1" and also made some removable slide in shelves for the two tiers so you can put small ornaments on them( Just an option)
@@johnthompson3462 nice, I’ve seen lots of variants on these.
Good tip. For me though, when I took off the nut, the collet stayed with the bit. So I put it back together and pried it off. Watching you though gave me an idea; I'll plunge the bit way down so the bit shaft is expossed, and find a pair of dykes or fashion a prybar of sourts, something to get fairly even pressure on the non-working end of the bit and leverage it out. shrugs, might work...
👏👏👏👏👏
Thanks for the tip, Andy! 😊 Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
where can I find your dimensions?? thanks
I added a link you can go to for the drawings.
I have the Harbor Freight stack, been great for several years now. Use it mostly for cutting grove for drawer bottoms and back panels for cabinets.
I need to make components for a wooden sash window eg 50mm x 500mm to exact thickness. Do you know of a hand held thickness planar jig design, so I can run a jointer no7 hand held plane over wood surface guided by side rails to limit plane and ensure wood is flat ?
No, sorryi do not.
Both words are common among woodworkers in the UK. I am English and my woodworking teacher, back in the 1960s, always called them a 'rabbet' and he cut them with a hand-held 'rabbet-plane'. The word comes from the Mediæval French 'rabat' from 'rabbattre' (to beat back).
Thats interesting. Thank you for the insight and watching the video! Andy
Great video & thanks for sharing about your wiring techniques and supplies. I’ve been wanting to do similar but just never found all the items needed.
Thank you! Glad I could help
How much do you charge for one, I made one out of walnut.?
Mine are all oak. In person they are $110.00 on my Etsy they range $135 to $145. I also make a new design that holds challenge coins. I did a video on it too.
@@epeiusgarage Thanks, nice work by the way.
I wonder if a 18mm grooved grommet would work?
Only one way to find out🤷🏼♂️
@@epeiusgarage yep. I have tried twice and I just can’t get it to pass the leak test. It’s a great build though and I appreciate your answer
@@lacttech I’ve never had one leak yet. I test every one and have sold over 100 of them.
@@epeiusgarage I’m doing something wrong either in the cut and glass is flaking. Or, I’m not using enough of the JB weld silicone; but, there’s plenty of squeeze out. And, I let it dry overnight. I’ll figure it out.
@@lacttech you are using the 16mm for the spout and 18mm for the stopper right? The splints I link are for a 16mm hole.
Ok. It’s quite possible I’m just an idiot. There was that one time I was wrong, but just how in the double monkey intercourse do you keep this thing from leaking?
all my lumber is wavy because I milled it. I need to bootstrap myself a flat sled surface somehow
If you mill it correctly you should end up with a square board.
@@epeiusgarage easier said than done. milling logs into lumber is hard. I barely managed to get what I have. Besides, roughcut is always wavy. Even if it isn't, it will warp once it dries
@@eitantal726 this is true. But it can be done. A jointer is best but I don’t have room and this sled works great for me. Dm me on my Facebook page if you have questions. Need be we can chat on the phone. Good luck
@@epeiusgarage I do have a lengthy track saw that makes excellent straight cuts. I could use that as a flat face: Make a bunch of them, and glue them together with the flat side facing up
@@epeiusgarage Anyway, thanks for reaching out. I'll reach out if I have further problems

So I’m newish never done dados before. But what is the best table saw to be running dados on? I’m looking to purchase a new saw and want to get one that is best suited
Read the manual before buying one. You can find the manual on line. Make sure it can accommodate a dado stack. The smaller job site saws may not allow you to use one.
I wished you would have included the cutting of the 45° angles. Semper Fi
I think I cover it in one of the many follow up videos. Semper Fi
I’ll look for it thanks! Oohrah

Thank you! Yeah that would make sense
That turned out so nice! Very cute, great job!
Thank you!
Is the spout held on by silicone only? No nut on back of spout?
Yes, silicone only. The silicone is very strong.
Thanks for making the video. I also have both the Harbor Freight (HF) and the Freud. The HF was purchased at a yard sale and the Freud was purchased at an auction with a box of various 10" saw blades. BTW: I have a Rockwell wobble dado blade that I use to make rough surfaces. I've been using the HF set for ~10 years for various dado projects. The finish is very acceptable. Nice crisp edges. Tear out is limited with masking tape on the workpiece. The only drawback to the HF blade set is that if I don't apply a thin coat of oil on it, it'll flash rust, meaning that there's extra work cleaning the blades before use and oiling them before storing. Regarding the Freud set: I hadn't tried them as to this date. However, the blades have a black finish that helps prevent rust, which is a plus over the HF set. Looking forward to trying it out. I was dismayed that your results showed that the Freud gave an undesirable result.
Thanks for watching one of my videos! I appreciate the comment!
Beautiful work, Andy! It looks fantastic! 😃 Really brilliant idea they had! Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊
Thank you! I thought it was a great idea as well. Hope you and your family are doing well too!
