Excited little pyro... (grapher, that is! )

http://www.razertip.com/pyrography-pens.htm

I ordered the razertip sk beginner pyrography set. Up until now, I've been using the typical pyrography tool set you can get at any hobby store for around $30.00. That one is fine for the occasional piece but let's face it,  unless you really enjoy feeling like a 4-year-old coloring with giant Crayolas (which I don't), the hobby pyro tool set isn't all that great for anyone who is interested in doing high-quality work on a regular basis. It's cumbersome,  mostly,  and even the ones that come with various temp settings don't give you nearly enough control over the heat. (But for tiny hobby projects, it's sufficient.) So, after long consideration and research, I had decided to upgrade. This unit/brand has great reviews so i am going to try it out!

A warning: since you will be forking out at least $200.00, if not more, for a good pyrography pen/burner, I would advise pyrography newbies to purchase and practice with the hobby tool kit. Better not to spend the larger amount first, just to find out you aren't a fan of the art form!

In other news... fallout 4 is currently downloading. I'm a kid on Christmas morning. Seriously.
