At a recent Saturday gathering of local woodturners, we discussed wire wood burner alternatives. I’ve used a commercial set for many years but they then to get kinked up; burn me; and are hard to find. After our initial discussion, I did more research. One that impressed me was mounted in an old hack saw. Then why not mount three wires at a time in the same fixture?
My triangles are about 3 inches on a side. Double washers and a screw secure each end of the wire. The wood and finish don’t matter. The exact size of wood pieces don’t matter. The exact wire sizes also do not matter.
So pull one together and start burning lines in wood instead of fingers.
Enjoy!
Very good idea. Makes burning a lot safer
