I have been reading through the previous thread about signing your work. I'm am somewhat disappointed that I have not been signing my work, I guess because I mostly give it to family and friends. I am however getting more and more interested in selling some of my work to help feed this addiction. I have a few other ideas for things to process and sell. I have read through the previous thread and I think I want to know more about the pyro side of signing. I did not want to hijack the previous thread so I started this one.
I see this equipment is expensive so I really do not want to make a mistake in purchasing here. I need to know the ins and outs of this area I know nothing about. I see several differences in power supplies in terms of watts some real low others quit high. I figure i want to have a fine tip type pen to sign with but I think I want to have a unit that will heat a branding Iron as well. I can make this stuff to but I do not know how or what to look for. I am not against buying one but certainly if I can save money I am will to build one.
I'm not sure where this will take me, it always seams that I start with something for a need then off in a different direction I did not realize was there. An example of this is making fishing rods, needed a lathe to make the reel seats so I bought a little lathe, now I have a big one. You see, I just want to buy or build a unit that can do what ever my silly little brain comes up with.
If you can help I would really appreciate it, thanks in advance
