Being frustrated by not being able to use 16-, 14-, and 12-gauge nichrome 60 wire in my art and woodturnings, I designed and built an awesome pyrography burner that I call the Scorcher II.
Since I started woodturning in 2005, I have used converted battery chargers for my pyrography (scorching or branding), but their performance was barely adequate for my needs, not to mention the fact that I have burned up three of them.
A couple of months ago I said to myself, "you have the skills, knowledge, and experience to build a machine that will meet your needs - so get busy and do it."
I made a prototype that worked better than expected but, being who I am, I was not satisfied and made a second one named the Scorcher.
Then I thought, " . . . but if I just make a few changes, I will meet my goal of making the machine I always wanted."
And so, the Scorcher II was born.
I sold one with newly designed hand pieces to a friend, Rick Cannon, and now that he has been using his Scorcher II, he stated, "you really have something here and there is nothing on the market like it."
He encouraged me to sell them.
That was NOT my plan when I made Scorcher II.
However, contact me and I will consider making and selling a Scorcher II with the hand pieces.
