Woodburning (or pyrography) has enjoyed a renaissance in recent years. Weller's inexpensive kit is a wonderful way to introduce yourself or an older child to this ancient craft. The kit contains everything you need to get started except the wood. It includes: a 25-watt short barrel woodburning iron w/stand, 6 metal woodburning tips, three decorative branding irons, a hot knife tip w/blade chuck and a pattern transfer tip (see Transfer Tool 187212 for a full description), all in a plastic storage container. Also included are dozens of designs and letters ready to be transferred to your project. The instructions give plenty of useful hints and ideas. We think it's a good value.
