I guess Thais use this machines while crafting wooden souvenirs...

Have seen tools for wood carving, but no burning or poker-work(?) machine

used to have it as a hobby tool in my home country

Does anybody know where to buy this machine?

Would be grateful for advice

Thank you!

(please don't advice to ask Thais or buy online... I will ask Thais as well and buy online if I don't find it here)

Zippo make good wood burners from what I'm told

Soldering iron?

Cheers,

Pikey.

I have seen Thais using these small hand held rechargable butane torches for "scorching" their wood products at Baan Tawai. You can get then at Home Pro, or a lot of the local hardware shops.

not a bad idea...

still there are not so many hobby shops in CM... everything for hobbies is hidden and shared between strange shops selling other stuff. a good buisness idea, btw, to open hobby shop - for knitting, stitching, drawing, pottery, basket making, glass, wood burning, modeling, scrapbooking - all in 1 spot. i suppose you'll find target audience - and TA will find you.

still if someone have seen wood burning machine... please let know

But how do you stop your wood from burning ?

I usually find a bucket of water works well

What if there's a hole in the bucket, dear Liza?

Maybe if you post a picture of one of these custom wood burning machines we would know what you are talking about. I have also seen Thais using kerosene fuled blowlamps to "age" timber

I looked for one a few months ago, couldn;t even locate in BKK, ebay is probably your best bet or other online, then the import duty kicks in. A higher end soldering iron can stand in until you get the real thing.

A charcoal fire or a gas burner to heat a piece of iron which you could have made to any shape you want in a metal workshop may do the job.

A decent soldering iron will work. Get an extra tip or two and shape them with a file. I have a woodburning tool and a couple of soldering irons, but they are 110volt.

My guess is that you are looking for something like this?

That aint it, a wood burnig tool is like a more controllable soldering iron, with a variety of shaped and sized tips used for doing pyrography, burnig designs or drawings into wood, gourds or leather.

Ok, sorry I did not have a clue, I think I have a better idea now about how it looks.

May I suggest the OP to download a picture and show it to them (the shop). They may know where find or order it.

I will have a look again next time I'm there.

This is how it looks right?

Well Nana screws is also my first stop for hardware, Axom (Spelling?) or OHS-QHS located on the Northwest side along the electronic mall strip. It's the large store in the third plaza driving east with traffic and is a good stop for electric parts - well at least before they modernized the store and cut there stock down on less common items. I say that because I saw wood burning irons, beside the ultrasonic cleaners, before there renovations.

Agree....Nana has the best selection of 'screws' in LOS.

couldn't resist.........
