    Michele, Is it OK to woodburn on cedar? Thank you.

    • @KlingsporsWoodworkingShop
      @KlingsporsWoodworkingShop  2 года назад +12

      It is okay to burn on cedar. However, some people find the fumes are an irritant to their lungs. Even if they don’t have an issue with it, the other people in the house may find it irritating. You can use a carbon-activated filter fan to reduce the fumes in the air.
      The other thing to consider with cedar is that burning on the outer sapwood, which is a light color, shows up well but burning on the red heartwood is hard to see. As the wood ages, the red heartwood will get darker. In addition, the heartwood will darken when you add a clear finish to the piece. Both will make it hard to see your burning. You can burn the image darker than usual to keep it visible. Also, do not use lacquer as a finish because it will deepen the heartwood to a dark red/black color. I recommend using polyurethane or polyacrylic as a finish.

Update: I received my rotating table in Dec 2020 and find it to be a great tool; especially since it allows you to adjust the angle of the project should you need to burn at a different angle, and rotating the project is easy to do, using the accompanying wedge to keep the turntable in one place.

One comment on the commercial about Lomi, which I know you have no control over. I'm just making a comment for everyone on this product - they claim "stop food waste."

    I've been doing many crafts in the past and I got into ''torch paste'' which I really enjoyed tho I have ''entertained the idea of ''wood burning''. Well,my three son's have so much confidence in me and they invested a ''wood burning tool kit'' as a Christmas gift. They are such wonderful people and they want me to pursue in ''wood burning'' as it is more of an ''art'' than a ''craft'' in my opinion. A question we all had was ''can you go over your ''torch paste'' heat gun burnt image and give it more of the ''wood burning" effect(tho I thought it might give off fumes from the torch paste). I hope this question makes sense. Thank you and I've learned alot from your video.

    • @KlingsporsWoodworkingShop
      @KlingsporsWoodworkingShop  10 месяцев назад +1

      Thank you for your kind compliment, Elaine. In order for the breath condensation to be seen, you’ll need to have a background burned behind where the breath will be rendered so that the lighter breath will show up. I would render breath condensation in one of these two ways:
      Option 1. I would burn the background where the breath will go first. Then I would use sandpaper (around 220/320 grit) to remove the burn in varying degrees of light and dark, working in small circles. You’ll need to make some of the “mist” lighter and darker to make it believable. Attached is a reference picture to show you an example. Note that the breath is very light when it comes out of her mouth. If it’s too strong, it will look like she is exhaling cigarette smoke.
      Option 2. I would burn the background only around the area where the mist will go. Then I would use my shader in a small circular motion to blend the background into the mist. You’ll need to shade in light and darker tones in the mist to mimic the breath in the photo.
      Please let me know if you need more clarification.
      Thanks,
      Michele

    • @KlingsporsWoodworkingShop
      @KlingsporsWoodworkingShop  4 года назад

      Thank you for watching, the Weller is a good starter unit. You will find that the handle gets hot and you'll want to wear a glove if you're burning for longer than 15 mins. Changing out tips is slower because you want to wait for the unit to cool before handling hot tips. Also, you'll find a lack of specialty tips that are not available for the Weller.

      That is the SSD-10’s calibration hole for extra low-end temperature adjustment. It is used for turning down the heat if the “1” setting is too hot, like when you are sculpting or burning with wax. Thanks for watching!

      @@chrishitchman technically....no.

Soooo yes it did answer it by telling you a shorter story that what we just replied and where to go :)
