I happen to have found myself in possession of a razertip woodburner. Last time I did any woodburning was 30 years ago and if I remember correctly it was actually a soldering iron. Suffice to say I have no idea what I'm doing and am anxious to mess up a lot of my work that I spent time turning and sanding.
My question to people experienced in woodburning is, if you were to buy 5 tips knowing today what you didn't know when you first started, what would they be?
The single pen I have is a very fine writing ball tip. I am definitely buying a "create your own tip" type pen to accept homemade nichrome wire shapes. There are shaders and skews and quills and beads and sharps and .... you get the point (see what I did there). I have no idea what I want to do and I'm sure that's 100% of the problem. I just plan on exploring pyrography with no goals and lots of curiosity. I'll probably play with repeating geometric patterns and use some graphite paper to do specific shapes/pictures. If there is anything you'd recommend I'd love to hear it.
Thanks in advance
