Decided I wanted to customize and design some mugs for our Renaissance outfits. I ordered this on a whim and it works great. It's light weight and good quality, make sure you use the enclosed stand not to burn yourself or the table/floor you are working on. The different heads included are very helpful for different designs.

Five minutes out of the package and I was burning images onto wood as practice for a wooden picture frame I planned. Although I fancy myself an artist, I've never done wood burning before. This is fun! Great results right out of the box. (My wooden mixing spoons in the kitchen may be in jeopardy.)Having said this, the wood burner looks innocuous enough, but is something to approach with extreme caution. It comes with a metal stand, pictured here. But even the stand will get hot. The package recommends using a pair of pliers for changing out the various tips, and I couldn't agree more. The tool heats up quickly and seems to cool down quickly as well. And it has a snap button for turning it on and off so that you don't have to unplug it all the time. But I'm going to keep the pliers next to it as a habit. I'm also using a remnant of granite to stand the tool and the metal holder on. I'll probably plan a bigger project for this new gadget. Good price. Good deal.

I bought the Walnut Hollow Woodburner to make a few Christmas presents this past year. I am very satisfied with the product.The tool was advertised as the perfect tool for beginners, and that is a very accurate description of it. It was very easy to set up and use. While the placement of the on/off switch was a little awkward (almost right in the middle of the power cord), it did not make the tool any more difficult to use—just be mindful about where you set up to work.The tool came with 4 screw-in tips, and I found the easiest one to use was the flow tip. Some other reviewers mentioned that their tips broke off inside the tool, but I have had no issues with mine so far. I would recommend waiting until the tips cool in order to minimize the chance of this happening.There is most definitely a learning curve with the tool. Because it is a beginner’s type of tool, there was no temperature control, which was a hindrance at times—I had to be very aware of how long I applied the tool to the wood in order to maintain an even looking burn pattern.One minor drawback to the tool was the grip, which consists on very fine raised lines on the body of the tool behind the heat guard. It seems impractical to have such an uncomfortable grip on a tool that is meant for detailed (and therefore time consuming) work. However, any other person can modify their grip so that they do not squeeze tightly.Overall, I would say that this tool is great for beginners to see if they have an interest in woodburning as a craft. Its price lends well to experimenting with a new hobby, and the package comes with a good variety of tips to play around with. My tool has lasted a few months with no major issues; the minor one does not outweigh the overall quality of the product, nor does it affect how the woodburnings come out.

Hi! I found this handy little tool to be rather wonderful :) The other reviews are true regarding it getting hot over time and that the cord can sometimes get in the way, but the latter is merely a position adjustment where laying it out on the table next to the project worked best for me. It is a woodBURNing tool, so you can expect it to get hot after the passage of some time. With the unit I have I found that it occurred a couple of hours into the project but that it seemed to correlate well with my taking a little break and looking over the progress of my work, so it didn't hamper me at all. But if that's when you find that you really are getting rolling with the project they sell rubber cots precisely for this reason that you might want to consider purchasing.Another point to consider is the smell. Some people may find the smell in their rooms/homes of burnt wood to be annoying, so work in a well-ventilated space (maybe using a fan?) or out-of-the way area (also great for concentrating).For the novice, I would suggest starting with bits of wood, even backyard scrap, to give you a chance to warm up (no pun intended :) ) and get the feel for how you handle the tool (its warmth, the different tips, the cord placement, the effects differing pressures exert) and the large or detailed marks you can create. That will give you more confidence and a better feel for how you handle each project. Then before you start on a project, get a feel for the wood grain of the project itself by working alittle on the back of the piece. Different types of wood burn differently.This is a wonderful craft, when you consider the enormous possiblities. Another thing to consider is that you don't have to stop with just the woodburning. This may sound strange, but I use professional grade colored pencils to add dimension to the piece (i.e. the woodburning adds permanence, color and tactile quality while the pencils add vibrancy to specific areas or the entire piece depending on what you want to achieve) then I spray the project with several coats of lacquer. Remember, it's YOUR creativity and YOUR unique style that you are bringing to an otherwise plain piece of wood giving it a whole new purpose. Experiment and allow YOUR inner artist to dictate - work on garage sale furniture, storage boxes, maybe add watercolors, or glue different pieces of material/fabrics/gems to parts of the project - whatever strikes your fancy. Woodburning is a true craft requiring both dedication and whimsy but unlike most crafts the pieces you create last a long time.Hope my review helped - hope it wasn't too long :)...

I delayed buying this because the idea of burning the edges of my mesh with this made me really nervous —and I DO recommend you use caution because this obviously gets really hot. That said, it’s pretty easy to use. Wrap the cord around something heavy so it can’t fall on the floor and make sure you have something to actually put the tool down in (I use a cast iron pan) because if you leave it on the counter it will definitely flip off (very disconcerting). Use care around children or pets and wear a mask if you’re burning plastic! But it cuts through mesh really easily & is simple to use.

È arrivato tardi. La presa non va bene in Europa. È quello che va bene solo negli Stati Uniti. Lo stesso giorno che ho fatto l'ordine, ho chiesto di cancellare l'ordina. Mi hanno risposto il giorno o due giorni dopo dicendo che era già spedita.Non vi posso spiegare quanto mi sento deluso da questa esperienza.GUARDA COM'È ARRIVATA IL PACCO! In una busta. Il confezione già aperta da tempo; Si vede dal colore della cartone e colla. Pezzi piccoli liberi nella busta.Non ho ancora provato il prodotto perchè devo trovare un trasformatore giusto.In genere i prodotti di Walnut Hallow sono buoni. Pero devono aggiungere più informazione e foto, per dare più dettagli sul prodotto.Uffa.
