Forgot to mention one important thing: ALWAYS sand your wood before you trace your design (even if it is a plywood board). This will give you a smoother foundation to work and a better result.

HI RICHY, I hope you are keeping safe, I have been doing a few pyrography projects, I must publish a few, great video. look after yourself.

[@richypyrography]

Hi Les. It's so good to hear from you. I'm safe also. Looking forward to seeing the new projects. Thank you so much.

Hi Richy, This is a great video. You covered the basics of everything. Very well done! If you don't mind I'd love to put a link in my website and feature it on my community tab.

[@richypyrography]

Hi Brenda. Thank you so much. Of course you can share it. I would appreciate and be very thankful for that. Considering your incredible tutorials I would be honored.

[@PyrographyMadeEasy]

Thank you. It's on my website and tomorrow it will appear on my community tab. Have a wonderful week!

Hi Richy, I have been doing pyrography for a while, (although not in your class) I have done scenery, flowers animals and portraits, I have used the fixative I use to protect my pencil sketches I have also used acrylic spray, do you think I need to use the sealant as well, if so what is it.

[@richypyrography]

Hi Neil. The sealant gives a first protective layer. Makes the wood less porous. But, if you apply the acrylic, it will be absorbed by the wood (at least the first coat) and close it also. In my opinion it's not essencial. I think that you can keep protecting it the same way you do. The one I use is a water based acrylic sealant called Tapaporos. I have searched online but couldn't find an exact match on Amazon.

@@richypyrography Thankyou very much, I have four to now spray with acrylic.

[@sueswegman7779]

Thank you for all the wonderful information .... I am just wondering which machine you use? And which tips you recommend. Thank you again.

[@richypyrography]

Thank you so much Sue. I've been using the Optima 1 single burner for some years now and it still works perfectly. The price is also very competitive. The tips I use the most are 3: Medium Spear Point Shader Modified Writing tip 5/8" Shader spoon The ball point tip candy be handy but not essential. Hope this helps.

[@geraldmartin8195]

Thank you again, Richy. I have just one question. And that is, do you not like to use a lazer jet printer, and then transfer the image using a heated transfer tip...?

[@richypyrography]

Hi Gerald. To be honest I've never tried. I try to keep away from everything that is not graphite. My profession is graphics designer and I work with Lazer printers. One of the things that I was told was to be extremely careful with the ink cartridges because they are cancerous. Knowing that, I would recommend not to burn over that ink. You also have that tracing paper that sticks to the wood and you can burn over it. That's another thing I wouldn't use. There's still plastic and other components on it. I don't think it's safe.

[@geraldmartin8195]

@@richypyrography Thank you once again for sharing your experience and knowledge. I will heed your advice. It's astounding how much life threatening advice is given out on the web. I worked as an assistant to a well known sculptor for several months. We cast a lot in polyester resin, and didn't use a mask. He died prematurely of brain cancer a few years later.

[@richypyrography]

You're very welcome. I believe there's always a way for companies to sell their equipment and ideas going over the safety laws somehow. Unfortunately not everyone has prior experience with the products and rely on their statements. Like you mentioned, sometimes the result is devastating.

ola Richy! gosto de artes e gostaria de iniciar esta arte. depois de ver muuuitos videos e pesquisar qual a melhor maquina para comprar, uma vez que estou em Portugal, talvez a optima 1 single burner da cravetools seria uma boa aposta nao? (apesar da espera e custos extra). para retratos de pessoas e animais o que aconselhas a nivel de pontas? tenho visto os teus videos e dá a sensaçao que usas muito a spear point shader? o que aconselhas se tiver que comprar umas 3 pontas. spear, spoon e S ball tip para escrever? cumprimentos e fico extremamente contente que representes Portugal nesta arte que fiquei apaixonado! votos de muito sucesso! :D

[@richypyrography]

Olá David. Muito obrigado. É sempre bom ouvir palavras como as tuas e saber que há reconhecimento do nosso trabalho. Em relação às máquina, a Optima 1 é a máquina que tenho usado já há uns anos e não tive qualquer problema até agora. Na minha opinião, é como dizes, a relação preço qualidade, mesmo com a taxa da alfândega, compensa. Há 3 canetas que uso mais, sendo que uma delas é oferecida com a máquina. PH23 - spoon shader PH18M - spear shader PH9MS - writing tip Tenho usado também para algumas texturas a PH19L - ball point Mas não acho essencial. Espero ter ajudado. Qualquer dúvida posso sempre tentar ajudar por e-mail. Bom trabalho e boas festas.

[@davidbrazao3364]

@@richypyrography muito grato pela rapidez e pelos teus conselhos que me vão ajudar imenso! Se surgir alguma dúvida entretanto, espero ter a mesma sorte de hoje😊 até lá, vou encomendar e rezar para chegue o mais.depressa possível! Saúde e boas festas richy!

[@richypyrography]

Esqueci-me de dizer que deves mencionar nas observações que queres um corpo de máquina para 220V.

[@davidbrazao3364]

@@richypyrography Boa! ja mandei mensagem ao senhor Pat a confirmar valores, ele disse-me que posso optar por pagar Priority Mail International Flat Rate Envelope, qualquer coisa como 35$. isto no total dará algo como 190$. e se tiver o azar de ficar retido, pagarei uns 50€ nao? abraço

[@richypyrography]

À partida é quase garantido que fica na alfândega. Pelo valor e pelo volume e porque vem dos Estados Unidos. Eu paguei à volta de €50, sim.
